Edinburgh Marathon - Edinburgh Running Festival

Fundraising Challenge Event

Run for Team OCA and raise life-saving money for ovarian cancer research

Run Edinburgh for Ovarian Cancer Action

Join Team Ovarian Cancer Action at the Edinburgh Marathon – a stunning, speedy route through one of the UK’s most beautiful cities. Whether it’s your first marathon or you're chasing a PB, this fast and flat course is perfect for you.

The route

Starting at McEwan Hall, you'll race through Edinburgh’s historic heart – past Greyfriars Bobby, over the Royal Mile, under the shadow of Edinburgh Castle, and through Princes Street Gardens.

Breathe in the views at Arthur’s Seat and Holyrood Palace, before cruising down to the coast at Portobello. You’ll pass the world’s oldest golf course and the grand Gosford House before heading to the sea-view finish line in Musselburgh.

Why run with us?

Every mile helps fund life-saving research and raise awareness of ovarian cancer. You'll get:

  • A free OCA running vest
  • Fundraising tips and support
  • A chance to make real change for people with ovarian cancer

How your fundraising helps women with ovarian cancer now and in the future
