Edinburgh Marathon 2025 – A Taster

by Russell Turner - 20:26 on 26 May 2025

I’m back home after my second Edinburgh Marathon. To say it didn’t go as I’d hoped is an understatement. Showers, sun, fierce wind, hail and a brief but vicious deluge of freezing rain near the finish were some of the highlights. I could write more, but I’ll leave it for a few days until my legs have stopped aching and my perspective’s improved.

At least the medal was impressive.
