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?

👀 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! 🙌
