Applications for UNICEF's Edinburgh Marathon have now closed. However, if you managed to secure your own place in the 2012 event, we'd love to hear from you. Please email us to receive a running pack and fundraising support. We look forward to welcoming you to Team UNICEF!
We're proud to be able to offer charity places in this event for the first time. Edinburgh has been rated the fastest marathon in the UK by Runner's World magazine so is a good choice for those looking for a new personal best.
Join Team UNICEF in 2012
If you'd like to join Team UNICEF for this event you can register online today!
In return for a charity place, we ask for a £30 registration fee when you sign up and ask you to pledge to raise a minimum sponsorship amount of £650 for our work with children. Don’t let this put you off – we’ll support you with your fundraising and help you raise the target with ease!
If you have any questions, email us or call 0844 801 2414.
If a full marathon isn't what you are looking for, you can also sign up for the Edinburgh Half Marathon.
Benefits of running with Team UNICEF:
- A UNICEF running vest or t-shirt, plus t-shirts for your supporters to wear on the day
- A fundraising pack full of tips as well as advice on training and nutrition, and support from a dedicated UNICEF fundraising officer
- UNICEF's own online fundraising facility, My Fundraising
- Information to share with your sponsors about UNICEF’s work and how their donations will help children across the world.
Do you have your own place and want to fundraise for UNICEF?
If you have already secured your own place in the Edinburgh Marathon we would love you to run for Team UNICEF. Please email us once your place has been confirmed, giving your full postal address and telephone number, to request an Own Place Edinburgh Marathon pack.
Why your support matters
Your fundraising efforts will support our work promoting the rights of vulnerable children around the world, ensuring that we continue to help protect their right to an education, to be healthy, to be heard, to be treated fairly and to a childhood free from adult responsibilities.
By being a part of Team UNICEF, you will be helping us ensure more children get the best possible start in life.
Do you want to join our cheering squad and be part of the fun?
We would love you to join us cheering on Team UNICEF at the Edinburgh Marathon. We can offer you and your friends and family who come along a UNICEF t-shirt, some clappers to bang together and some light refreshments to keep you going. Please contact us for more information about how you can get involved.
