Scurry to The Sea

Edinburgh, United Kingdom • 26 Jul 2026

Scurry to the Sea 2026

The Scurry to the Sea is a 12-mile running event that takes participants through a variety of landscapes in and around Edinburgh. The course begins with a hill run to the summit of Allermuir in the Pentland Hills, providing views of the surrounding area. From this high point, the route follows a predominantly downhill trajectory toward the coastline.

The event utilizes a mixture of different terrains and running styles. Participants transition from the initial hilltop section into a combination of cross-country paths, road running, and urban orienteering. Runners must navigate their way throughout Edinburgh, linking various trails to reach the final destination.

The course concludes on the sandy beach at Musselburgh. Because the event incorporates urban orienteering, participants are responsible for following the route through the city's trail networks to reach the sea.
