Really enjoyed Edinburgh’s first ever @shelterscotland #UrbanRush - I’ll be back next year for sure! Now time for some sleep...

How we fight homelessness
With the support of fundraisers like you, last year we helped 21,290 people across Scotland through our advice and support services.
But there are still 530 families in temporary accommodation in Edinburgh today. We offer help to anyone who needs it, and campaign to solve the housing crisis. We need your support.
Every mile run, every drop of sweat, and every pound raised will make a difference.

No – the route is fully marked, and there will be marshals on hand throughout.
As a unique cross-city urban run, the roads will not be closed, but the course will be extremely well marshalled. Both traffic and pedestrian management programmes will be in place.
