Course
A point-to-point half marathon following the Water of Leith pathway from a farm track off Harlow Road just outside Balerno to Coalhill in Leith. The route is mostly off-road, well marked and marshalled at key road crossings, but roads are not closed to traffic. It is run as a handicap, with the slowest starters setting off first.
