Established in 2003, the Edinburgh Marathon Festival is Scotland's largest mass participation running event, with over 35,000 runners and 100,000 spectators. From the 5k, held in the stunning Holyrood Park, to the one of the UK's fastest marathons, there's something for everyone.

Run for MS Trust and cross the finish line knowing you have made a huge difference to everyone affected by MS.

Take a look below to discover the different distances and information about them. If you have any questions please email fundraising@mstrust.org.uk.

It was a great day and I was spurred on by the thought of all those who had sponsored me in aid of the MS Trust.
