Women’s 10K – Edinburgh
Far more than just a 10K …. Whether you’re running for a loved one, for your own wellbeing, or to support our incredible NHS Lothian staff and the patients they care for, every step you take makes a difference.
From first-timers to seasoned runners, the Women’s 10K is about more than just crossing the finish line — it’s about showing up, pushing your limits, and doing something for yourself and for others.
Starting on the historic Royal Mile, this incredible city centre route takes you past the Scottish National Gallery and into Princes Street Gardens, with the iconic Edinburgh Castle as your backdrop.
You’ll then run past the Scott Monument and swoop past the Scottish Parliament building, before carrying onto Holyrood Park. Here you take in the spectacular Arthurs Seat, as well as Holyrood Palace and Dynamic Earth, before heading through the famous Grassmarket. As you reach the hustle and bustle of the Grassmarket you’re past the halfway point, where the cheering crowds will help you on your way to a grandstand finish at Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium.
