The Kilomathon is a 26.2 Kilometre Road Race. The series was launched in 2010 by double Olympian Liz Yelling who said "this innovative event will be a new target distance for lots of runners, from experienced looking to develop their performance or runners looking for a different challenge".

The Kilomathon is the perfect distance for anyone training for a marathon.
The Kilomathon is the perfect distance for anyone that has run a half marathon and looking for a stepping stone to the marathon distance.
The Kilomathon is the perfect race for anyone looking for a new running challenge.
The Kilomathon is the perfect distance for anyone that has hit the wall at 18-20 miles but is still looking for a long distance challenge.

The Scotland Kilomathon/Half Kilomathon starts and finishes in the Royal Highland Centre in Ingliston and goes over the spectacular Forth Road Bridge.
