Edinburgh MarathonEntry deadline:Late March 2009
With wonderful crowds and Scottish Pipers en-route, this city really comes alive at race time. A flatter and faster route takes in all the sites of this historic city including Edinburgh Castle, Scots Monument, New Parliament Building and Princes Street. You can choose to either run the full marathon distance yourself, or share the experience with your friends and/or family by entering a team of 4 into the Hairy Haggis Team Relay - whereby each team member runs a quarter of the course (just over 6 miles).

The fast and flat course takes runners on a tour through 20th Century history, through the once divided austere East Germany and the more hi-tech West Germany, giving you plenty of sites to take in along the way, unless of course you're going for a World Record!
