Marathon on its marks for anniversary
The half marathon, which takes place each March, is organised by students and last year raised almost 50,000. The event includes a 5km race for all abilities.
The anniversary launch event, which is open to the public, will be held at the Loft Bar of Teviot Row House, Bristo Square, at 7.30pm. It will also mark the beginning of a one-week, 20 per cent discount on the 15 registration fee.
