This time last week… we were soaking up every mile of the Scottish Half Marathon! 🏃♀️🏃♂️
One week on, and we’re already missing the buzz. Here’s a little look back at an unforgettable day in East Lothian.
Who’s ready to do it all again?
Scottish Half Marathon
The Scottish Half Marathon is seriously flat & rapid - if you want to set a personal best for a half marathon, this is the event for you. Enter now!
Starting conveniently at 11am just outside Edinburgh, you run along the magnificent Golf Coast before finishing in the final furlong at Musselburgh Racecourse, Scotland’s oldest racecourse. Come and be a part of it! Sunday 18th August 2024.

👀 ONE TO WATCH: RACHEL
Rachel is one to keep an eye on at this year’s Scottish Half Marathon! 🏃♀️
Her road-running journey began at this very event in 2024, and she’s come a long way since - running an impressive 2:44:13 at London Marathon earlier this year and setting a new 5K PB of 16:38 just last week!
With training going well and her sights set on a half marathon PB, Rachel is excited to be back racing in Scotland alongside fellow Scottish athletes.
Good luck, Rachel! 🙌
