Kilomathon offers something a little bit different to your usual running event. There are loads of 5Ks and 10Ks out there, but why not try something to push you out of your comfort zone? Organised by MyRunning, Kilomathon Scotland offers you a choice of two distances:
13.1 km
Looking for a little bit more than a 10K? This is the perfect race distance, and also a great training run for a full or half-marathon.
Beginning just outside Ocean Terminal Shopping Centre, the route starts by passing by the historic Royal Yacht Britannia then runs along Edinburgh’s tranquil cycle paths and the picturesque Victoria Park, before a breath-taking finish in front of the West Stand in Murrayfield Stadium.
6.5 km
Got a few 5K's under your belt but want to challenge yourself a little bit more? Try the 6.5K Kilomathon, also a great training run for a 10K.
Beginning on South Trinity Road Cycle path just off Ferry Road. The route joins in with the 13.1K runners as they run along Edinburgh’s tranquil cycle paths, before a breath-taking finish in front of the West Stand in Murrayfield Stadium.
