Over 13,500 runners took part in Sunday’s annual Edinburgh Marathon, despite the sudden city heat wave. Not only was it a great day out in itself, but the route the run took encompassed many of Edinburgh highlights and attractions; from The Meadows and Holyrood Park, to the Old Town and finally Musselburgh Racecourse.
However, from one major sporting event to another, Edinburgh is now gearing up for rugby season at Murrayfield Stadium. Each May and June, Scotland’s national stadium hosts a number of national and international rugby events, with the Murrayfield Magic Weekend Edinburgh Rugby League and the Emirates Airline Edinburgh 7s Festival being the two biggest draws.
The Emirates 7s welcome in some of the most technically skilful and dynamic seven-aside teams the world has to offer, all playing against each other in amongst a real festival atmosphere. Not just for Scottish rugby fans either, the weekend is full of family attractions off the pitch too, from face painting to fairground rides, and of course the city comes alive later in the evening. For the finest post-match drinking, head to The Grass Market. It’s not too late to book some of Edinburgh’s finest accommodation either and make it a real weekend to remember.
