Take on the Scottish Half Marathon 2026 for DKMS

Join #Team DKMS for a spectacular half marathon

The route is seriously flat & rapid – if you want to set a personal best for a half marathon, then this is the event for you. Starting conveniently at 11am just outside Edinburgh, you will run along the magnificent East Lothian Golf Coast before finishing in the final furlong at Musselburgh Racecourse; Scotland’s oldest racecourse.

By joining DKMS for the Scottish Half, you are adding more potentially life-saving matches to the stem cell register. With your support, we can give more blood cancer patients a second chance at life.

What you get

Join the team to receive:

  • personal support
  • lots of fundraising advice
  • DKMS t-shirt and technical top for training and race day
  • access to lots of fundraising materials such as banners, balloons, collection tins and even some fancy QR code technology

Registration and Fundraising Details

  • Self-funding: registration fee £62 / no minimum sponsorship target
  • Fundraising: registration fee £30 / minimum sponsorship target £120

Have your own place?

If you're lucky enough to have your own place we'd love you to join #TeamDKMS as an own place runner. You'll receive the same support as our charity runners but there’s no minimum fundraising target. You can have fun and raise as much as you can! Join the team by emailing fundraising@dkms.org.uk.
