Everyone has to run in a kilt and refreshment stations will feature Irn-Bru and haggis pakora.

You can only enter if you can prove connection with Scotland.

News just in, the Edinburgh Marathon is going to be 5k in order to smash the 2hour barrier for a marathon. Its also going to double in price from last year to reflect the quicker course

I'd love to do the relay again but really £120 for a team seems pretty steep (though I guess its £30 each but still).

They haven't manged change very well in the past. In fact they often muck things up that stay the same as well :-O

If I had already entered I would be worried

Like the year the originally advertised grandstand finish disappeared off the website and then a new finish with no spectators was announced. Oh and the large TV screen to show the finish for spectators didnt work due to either the weather or a fox chewing the cable.

52 laps of Arthur's Seat? It'd be like a cross between a track marathon and a trail marathon.
