Own Places
If you have already secured your own place in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival but you would like to fundraise for Athletics Trust Scotland, we would love for you to join our team! There are no minimum sponsorship targets for runners with their own place but everything you do raise will help support our work. Contact us at info@athleticstrustscotland.org.uk to confirm your support or ask any questions.
