Scottish Half and Various Races 2025

Exciting news: JDRF has now rebranded to Breakthrough T1D. Our name has changed, our mission has not. Read our rebrand FAQs.

Join Team Breakthrough T1D and fundraise for us by taking part in an organised Scottish race throughout the year.

Sign up to Team Breakthrough T1D and we will support you with:

• Breakthrough T1D running vest
• Fundraising pack with lots of hints and tips to maximise your fundraising
• Regular contact with Breakthrough T1D staff to help and encourage you in the lead up to the event
• Welcome from Breakthrough T1D staff and volunteers at the marathon & half marathon finish area to celebrate your achievement!

Whether this is your first race or you are an experienced runner, we hope that you can raise lots of money for us so we can continue funding life-changing type 1 diabetes research and supporting people living with type 1.

If you’ve got your own place but want to run for us, we’d be thrilled to have you on the team - see below for more info.

Charity place fees

We have to cover certain admin fees to cover charity places. This is why we ask for a small admin charge to cover our costs.

Up to a 10K: £15

Half Marathon or more: £20
