The Water of Leith Half on 27 September 2025 is a point-to-point Half Marathon following the winding path of the Water of Leith, from the edge of the Pentlands and down to Leith.

This event is kept deliberately small to minimise impact on the pathways and preserve the natural beauty of the route. The route is mostly off-road, well-marked, and marshalled at key road crossings.

The race is a handicapped format with a maximum time limit of 2h 30mins.
