Support autism in this Scottish city challenge

Could you run in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival to raise money for Autism Initiatives?

The Edinburgh Marathon Festival has been rescheduled to take place on Sunday 6th September 2020. Runners start from Edinburgh University's Potterrow and head off through the city's major landmarks on to an amazing coastal journey that takes in scenic routes and is surprisingly flat, with a downhill finish (so great for anyone looking for PBs). This internationally renown event has challenges suitable for all ages and abilities

If you pledge to raise sponsorship for Autism Initiatives you will qualify for a FREE charity place plus a fundraising pack, running shirt/T-shirt and fundraising support.

"The half marathon was a huge challenge for me - but what a sense of achievement! I felt so good knowing I'd done that and done it for a great cause."
