Prestonpans, East Lothian (start)
The Scottish Half Marathon and 10k 2026 take place on Sunday 16 August 2026 along the East Lothian Golf Coast, offering a flat, fast route that is popular with PB-seekers and charity runners alike. The course begins just outside Edinburgh in the Prestonpans area and concludes in the final furlong at Musselburgh Racecourse, Scotland's oldest racecourse, with both distances run on the same day. Multiple charity partners list places for the event and many charities offer free charity places or running vests for fundraisers, making this an attractive option for participants wanting to raise funds for a cause.
Two race options are available on the day: the Scottish Half and the Scottish 10k, each run on largely road surfaces with coastal scenery and a reputation for being fast and flat. Several charity pages confirm the date and basic logistics, and charity entries typically include a running vest or T-shirt and a participation certificate. Detailed start waves, route maps and athlete guide information should be consulted on the event organiser's official site or the specific charity sign-up pages prior to race day.
