About the Event

Embark on a truly unique running journey from peak to coast with Scurry to the Sea on July 26, 2026, a thrilling 12-mile adventure that begins with a climb to the summit of Allermuir in the Pentland Hills and finishes with your toes in the sand at Musselburgh Beach. This is far more than a standard race; it's an exhilarating mix of fell running, urban orienteering, and road running, demanding navigation skills and versatility as you chart your own path through Edinburgh's diverse landscapes. The iconic "downhill all the way" profile after the initial climb offers a fantastic, flowing descent through picturesque trails, city paths, and coastal stretches, treating you to some of the region's finest panoramic views along the way. As the flagship event for Scurry Events, it captures a spirit of exploration and lighthearted challenge, where the joy of discovery is as important as your finishing time. Whether you're a seasoned trail runner or an urban explorer seeking a different kind of race, this event promises an unforgettable summer's day of freedom and adventure. Secure your spot for a run that delivers a spectacular sense of progression, a brilliant beach finish, and the singular satisfaction of literally running from the hills to the sea.

About Edinburgh

Scenic view of

Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland, located in the Central Belt of the country. With a population of 526,470 in the urban area in 2021, and 901,455 in the metropolitans, Edinburgh fizzes with a cosmopolitan yet uniquely Scottish atmosphere. Old volcanoes ensure a dramatic natural setting, with the imposing castle atop one. The city combines medieval relics, Georgian grandeur and a powerful layer of modern life with contemporary avant-garde. Medieval palaces, Gothic churches and fascinating historical buildings rub shoulders with the best of modern architecture, such as the Scottish Parliament and the National Museum of Scotland. Variously dubbed "Auld Reekie" or "Athens of the North", but usually just plain "Embruh", it hosts great restaurants, shops, pubs, wild and mild clubs, and an unrivalled programme of events and festivals throughout the year.
