ABOUT  US

Meadows Marathon is an annual student-organised event held in The Meadows in Edinburgh to raise money for local, national and international charities. The event is organised by Edinburgh RAG, an initiative of Edinburgh Students’ Charities Appeal (ESCA), in partnership with Edinburgh Napier Events Society and has raised over £210,000 for charity since its inception in 2007.

Due to Coronavirus, the 2021 event will be taking place virtually and incorporates 5K, 10K, Half Marathon and Full Marathon distances.

So far, 46 trees have been planted by Meadows Marathon runners through our partnership with Trees Not Tees!

BENEFICIARIES 2021

Meadows Marathon is supported by Edinburgh RAG.
