We want to assure you that we're closely monitoring the situation regarding COVID-19 in the UK. As things stand this event will be going ahead.
If your event is cancelled or postponed after sign up, you'll be offered a transfer onto a new date or a full refund on your registration fee.
We will, of course, continue to offer all our usual training and fundraising support throughout this time. You’ll have until 8 weeks after your event date to reach your minimum fundraising target.
Please drop us an email if you have any further questions.
Based in the historic town of Edinburgh, the Edinburgh Marathon Festival is an event for runners of all backgrounds and abilities, with people able to take part in different races across the weekend. Take part in this 5k and unite with us against dementia.
Join our team today!
By joining Team Alzheimer's Society, you'll be part of the movement to help end dementia. Until the day we find a cure, we will create a society where those affected by dementia are supported and accepted in their community. For instance, £100 could fund one of our National Dementia Helpline advisors to provide 7 hours of emotional support, personal advice and vital information to people affected by dementia.
When you run for us, you'll receive:
- a support pack with fundraising help and materials
- a free running top to wear on race day
- detailed training guides for different abilities and personalised support from our experts
- access to a Facebook group where you can chat to other runners
- support from our dedicated events team to help you smash your fundraising target
We know that fundraising can be just as challenging as the event, but we’ll be here to support you every step of the way. When you sign up to run for us, you will receive a support pack with tips and advice to help you with your fundraising, allowing you to make a difference to people living with dementia.
To kick-start your fundraising in the meantime, why not set up a JustGiving page?
You can also print off a sponsorship form to share with friends and family.
