Sunday’s event starts at Meadowmill Sports Centre at 11am, then follows a route that takes runners on the A198 towards Longniddry and along the coast road towards Gosford House.
Runners then turn around and head back along the coastline to Cockenzie and Port Seton and then Prestonpans. The race finishes at Musselburgh Racecourse.
