Edinburgh Marathon 2025 · 25 May 2025 ·

Since 1980, the Citadel is a safe space in the heart of Leith where children, young people, families, and older generations can come together. We offer something for everyone - a place to grow, make new friends, try new things, and get help when you need it.

Story

🏃💨 I’m lacing up again – but this time, it’s double the distance!

After running the half marathon last year, this May I’m taking on the full Edinburgh Marathon to raise vital funds for the Citadel Youth Centre – a place that’s been at the heart of the Leith community for over 45 years.

I’m joining an incredible team of staff, volunteers, and supporters, all hitting the streets for the Edinburgh Marathon Festival, united by one goal: keeping the Citadel running after devastating funding cuts this past year.

The Citadel is so much more than a youth centre – it’s a space where young people and families can feel safe, be themselves, and have fun. And we’re determined to keep it that way.

Every mile we run (or hobble!) helps us provide support, opportunities, and a warm welcome to the local community. If you can, please consider donating – we’re running to keep things running, and every little bit truly makes a difference.

Thank you so much for your support! 🏅
