Scottish Half and Scottish 10K

Yes. If you choose to run in aid of NHS Lothian Charity, we ask that you pay the following entry fee depending on your run:

• £15 for the Scottish Half
• £10 for the Scottish 10K

You can do this online once you have registered with the event organisers directly using the links above, and we will send you a link to our payment form to enable you to pay the entry fee.

Please note, you must be over 18 to use our online payment facility. If the event participant is under 18, the legal guardian should complete the payment process and agree to the Fundraising Events Terms and Conditions on the participant’s behalf.

You can sign up directly through the official websites. Be sure to select NHS Lothian Charity as your chosen charity so we know you’re running for us and can send you all the information you need.

• Scottish Half
• Scottish 10K

Yes, we ask our runners to pledge to raise a minimum of £250 for the Scottish Half and £150 for the Scottish 10K. Don’t worry though, we’ll be here to help you every step of the way with tips, tools, and encouragement! And remember, every pound you raise helps us provide enhanced care and comfort for NHS Lothian patients and support our incredible NHS staff.

To help you stay on track, we also set key fundraising milestones: at least 50% of your fundraising target one month before the event, 85% by the date of the event, with the remaining amount to be raised 4 weeks after event day.

These milestones are designed to support you throughout your journey, keep you motivated, and help you reach your target with confidence.

You can find out more in our Fundraising Events Terms and Conditions

We’ve got you covered! Once you sign up, you’ll receive:

• Helpful tools, tips and encouragement on the run up to the event
• Ongoing support from our friendly fundraising team
• A dedicated contact for any questions or encouragement you need

Participants must be at least 17 years old on the day of the event to run the Scottish Half, and at least 15 years old on the day of the event to run the Scottish 10K. If you’re under 18, you’ll need permission from a parent or guardian to take part.

A parent or guardian will also be required to complete the payment process for the entry fee and sign up to our Fundraising Event Terms and Conditions on the participant’s behalf

Not at all! Whether you walk, jog, or run, the Scottish Half and Scottish 10K are about participation, not pace. It’s a supportive, empowering environment for all fitness levels.
