Breast Cancer Care Events

 

23 May 2010

Breast Cancer Care is delighted to be chosen as an Official Charity once again for the Edinburgh Marathon, which is taking place on Sunday 23 May 2010.

If you are interested in taking part in next year’s event we would be delighted for you to join Team Breast Cancer Care Scotland using one of our guaranteed charity places. To express your interest or secure your place, please get in touch using the details at the bottom of the page.

We've even got a great video showcasing what a great day out the Edinburgh Marathon can be and all the ways Breast Cancer Care is here to support you. Get inspired to take part.

  

Hairy Haggis Team Relay

If running a full marathon fills you with fear, don't despair! The Hairy Haggis Team Relay is a great event giving athletes of all abilities the chance to experience marathon fever without having to run the 26.2 miles individually.

Teams of four compete in consecutive legs, splitting the marathon distance between them. To enter, get in touch using the contact details at the bottom of this page and we will send an entry form for the team leader to complete.

Scottish Half Marathon

This exciting new event is taking place on the same day as the Edinburgh Marathon and Hairy Haggis Team Relay, 23 May 2010.  With all the races finishing at Musselburgh Racecourse, it will be considered one of the biggest running festivals in the UK.

We also have places available for the Scottish Half Marathon, so please get in touch if you would like to be part of the team.

What we provide

We will support you in your efforts every step of the way and provide all our runners with a support pack including your own running vest for race day. Our unrivalled cheering squads en route give Team Breast Cancer Care all the encouragement needed.

We are there to congratulate you at the end of the race with a well deserved Breast Cancer Care goody bag and welcome you to the Charity Village to relax after the race with friends and family.

“Many thanks for your support and particularly for the aftercare in the Charity Village when your staff were nothing short of brilliant…I am proud to have contributed to a very worthy cause, please thank all of your team for their dedication and kindness.”
Steve Taylor, Team Breast Cancer Care, Edinburgh Marathon 2009
