Support Prostate Scotland and run with us for the Scottish Half Marathon 2026 on 16th August 2026.

If you’d like to run to support Prostate Scotland, then taking part in the Scottish Half Marathon is an ideal time to get involved and even attempt a personal best- this route is seriously flat and rapid, ideal for those wanting to beat their own records.

This is a popular running event with a fun and friendly atmosphere, and usually benefits from some sunshine and warmth too, making it also ideal for more friendly and laid-back runners! Book your place here, or register for a free charity place in the form below.

This event takes place on 16th August, the same day as the Scottish 10k, which starts at the Musselburgh Racecourse, if you want a slightly more rapid course. The Half Marathon event starts at 11am, with the 10K starting at 9am.

How To Run With Us:

Charity Place:

We buy charity places which are available free of charge when you run in aid of Prostate Scotland.

The sponsorship you raise will help us to take forward our work ensuring that even more men and their families can receive information and support on prostate issues. You can read more about our work here.

We ask you to pledge to fundraise £285.

This covers the cost of your place and merchandise, along with a donation on top to help us continue our crucial work supporting those with prostate issues. We are keen to offer charity places to runners for free – it’s important to us that our fundraisers enjoy their running challenge, and not worry about fundraising targets that could be difficult to meet. If you have any questions about free charity places, please email us at: info@prostatescotland.org.uk
