Set on the flat, coastal tarmac of Silverknowes Promenade, this officially measured one-mile course is built for speed, with no turns, stunning sea views, and the unique advantage of the race direction being decided on the day to avoid headwinds.
Whether you’re chasing a new PB, testing yourself against top Scottish runners, or enjoying the buzz of a supportive open race, this event has something for everyone.
Choose between the Elite Mile (sub-5 for men, sub-6 for women) or the Open Mile, which welcomes all ages, genders and paces.
With affordable entry fees, an optional handcrafted thistle medal, and a donation from every entry going to Alzheimer Scotland, this is more than just a race – it’s a chance to be part of something special. Join us on Sunday, 14 September 2025, and see how fast you can go!
Silverknowes Promenade - 48 Marine Dr Scotland, EH4 5EP
