Edinburgh Marathon Festival
Starting at the University, winding down the Royal Mile, looping around Hollyrood Park, then out and along the stunning East Lothian coastline, the Edinburgh Marathon is an iconic event in the UK’s sporting calendar. Accessible to all and combining a flat (actually net downhill) course with old-town sightseeing, this is a must-run event for both seasoned marathon runners and those looking to complete their first.
The Edinburgh Marathon is part of a wider festival of running over the weekend of 29-30 May 2027, and NEAS is also offering entries into the Half Marathon (Sunday) and 10k (Saturday) distances to our supporters, so there’s plenty of opportunities for everyone to get involved and challenge themselves! Read on for more information on how you can get involved.
Entry Cost & Sponsorship
We’ve partnered with Run For Charity to offer a limited number of places in the Edinburgh Marathon and Half Marathon for just £50.00 per person (plus booking fee). As with all our fundraising events, we ask all participants to commit to raising sponsorship for North East Autism Society and the services we provide for autistic people and their families across the region. The details are as follows:
- Marathon: £50.00 registration, £400.00 sponsorship target (minimum age 18 years old)
- Half Marathon: £50.00 registration, £250.00 sponsorship target (minimum age 17 years old)
- 10km: £20.00 registration, £100.00 sponsorship target (minimum age 15 years old)
All finishers will receive a finishers t-shirt, various goodies, and a shiny medal to hang round your neck with pride. We’ll provide you with a Team NEAS running vest to wear on the day too, so you can show off your team colours as you conquer your chosen challenge!
How To Enter
You can enter the Edinburgh Marathon for Team NEAS by clicking the “Marathon Registration” button below and completing your sign up with Run For Charity. Your details will be passed along to us to notify us that you’ve signed up and so we can support your journey to the start line, but won’t be shared with anyone else.
Please note, NEAS is subsidising the entry fee to this event as a fundraising opportunity. If you don’t meet the required sponsorship target ahead of the event, we reserve the right to withdraw your entry. We’ll be in communication with you throughout the buildup to the big day and will offer help and support to help you reach your target.
