Start: 2025-08-24
End: 2025-08-24
Location: Edinburgh

Edinburgh, United Kingdom • 24 Aug 2025

The Portobello Beach Race is a 4-mile running event held on the sand of Portobello Beach in Edinburgh, scheduled for August 24, 2025. The course starts below the registration area at Towerbank Primary School and follows the beach eastward to a marker near the pumping station, then returns along the beach to a turnaround point near the Cat and Dog Home before finishing back at the start. The race coincides with low tide, so participants may encounter wet conditions or need to navigate groynes. The event supports local causes, including Towerbank Primary School, and features prizes across various age categories. A kids' fun run is also held on race day.
