Meadowmill Sports Centre, Tranent to Musselburgh Racecourse, East Lothian, Scotland
The 2026 Scottish Half Marathon takes place on Sunday 16 August 2026 and follows a flat, rapid coastal route in East Lothian, ideal for a personal-best attempt. The race starts just outside Edinburgh with a scenic run along the East Lothian Golf Coast before finishing in the final furlong at Musselburgh Racecourse. The event is chip-timed and aimed at road runners seeking a fast course with strong coastal views and a traditional racecourse finish.
Entries are available via the official event site and there are dedicated charity places and partner charity pages for organisations such as CHAS, My Name’5 Doddie Foundation and Tree of Hope. Practical resources including a full route map, transport information and an event information pack are published on the event website; typical finishers’ items include a wicking T-shirt, medal and finisher’s pack, with baggage facilities and on-course hydration provided. Competitors should consult the organiser’s event information and FAQs on the official site for the latest logistics and entry details.
