Event Details

Every year, on the 3rd Sunday in June, a couple of hundred hardy individuals take part in one of the most unusual running events in the country, The Seven Hills of Edinburgh - a combination of road-running, cross-country, hill-running, and urban orienteering... 14 miles in length and with 2200 feet of ascent/descent. [Course Information]

It attracts runners of all ages and all abilities - from the leading distance-runners who get round in 100 minutes, to the more modest performers who may take up to 4 hours. But they all enjoy the satisfaction of completing one of the most scenic and challenging of sporting courses.
