2024 Edinburgh Marathon Festival Junior 1.5K
  • Holyrood Park, Queen's Drive, Edinburgh, United Kingdom
    EH8 8HG
  • Saturday 25th May 1:30pm until 2:00pm
The Edinburgh Marathon Festival Junior 1.5K takes place on Saturday 25th May 2024 in Holyrood Park, the very heart of Edinburgh City.

Starting and finishing near the EMF Hub at Dynamic Earth, this beautiful, scenic route takes place in Holyrood Park in the heart of Edinburgh.

The first 200m is a slight downhill section towards Queens Drive / Holyrood Gait Roundabout. Runners continue along the side of Dynamic Earth and run along Queens Drive with Holyrood Palace Gardens on their left and the steep slopes of Salisbury Crags on their right.

The runners just about reach St. Margaret's Loch on their right hand side before it doubles back on itself ... you'll have to come back later if you want to feed the ducks!

The route passes the 1 km mark and with the runners now more dispersed on the return leg, they can enjoy the views of Holyrood Palace, Calton Hill and Dynamic Earth and the Scottish Parliament Building.

Once back through the first roundabout, the runners make a right turn into Holyrood Gait and the final 50m dash to the Finish Line!
