Edinburgh Marathon 2025 filming coverage


By - Richard - 26th May 2025

We had a great time filming all of the different running events at the 2025 Edinburgh Marathon Festival weekend.

It is always a challenge filming at multiple locations on the iconic marathon route, but we were blessed with dry [but very windy] weather this year.

Thanks to the McEwan Hall for allowing us to film the start of the Marathon from the top of their building. This perspective really shows off the scale of the event.

A big thank you to all of the runners who took part, and for smiling and waving at our cameras along the route. Hope to see you again next year!
