Kilomathon Scotland 2027

Kilomathon Scotland returns to Edinburgh on Sunday 4 April 2027 with 13.1K, 6.5K, and 2.62K Mini Kilo races, all built around a Murrayfield Stadium finish.

The 13.1K and Mini Kilo start at 8:30am, while the 6.5K gets under way at 9am, giving adults, developing runners, and children separate distances on the same event morning.

Key Event Details

Race Options

The 13.1K sits between a 10K and half marathon, making it useful for runners who want a longer spring race without taking on the full half-marathon distance. The 6.5K is aimed at people ready to step beyond 5K, while the Mini Kilo gives children aged 6 to 14 their own 2.62K event.

Routes use Edinburgh’s cycle-path network before the stadium finish. That finish is a big part of the event’s appeal, particularly for younger runners who get the same grandstand setting as the longer-distance entrants.

Entry & Event Information

The event finishes at Murrayfield Stadium. Entry is already open through the organiser, with separate booking pages for each distance.

Use the official Kilomathon Scotland website for entries, route maps, transport information, and race-day updates.

Planning The Morning

The first races start at 8:30am, so plan transport around an early Sunday arrival. Road and access arrangements can change for organised running events, making the organiser’s final race instructions more useful than relying on normal-day travel assumptions.

Families entering the Mini Kilo should also check the age rules and meeting arrangements before race day.

Our Tips

• Choose the distance before entering, as each race has its own start time and entry page.
• Read the final transport information issued by the organiser before race day.
• For the Mini Kilo, check the age requirement of 6 to 14 years before booking.
