Edinburgh: Charity

Run for Charity

As you may know, involving charities in our events is an important part of what we do. We are grateful for the success of our US charity partners who have raised over $275 million for their respective causes through Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series events, since its inception in 1998.

In Edinburgh, we are pleased to partner with the following charities.  If you are interested in running on behalf of one of them, please contact the charity directly.
