In 2007 the people who had run all the Edinburgh Marathons since the latest series started in 2003, were formed into an elite group by Michael McCabe – this is the 26.2 Mile AYE Club.
Naturally, the club membership gets smaller every year and by 2012 the membership was down to 37 runners who clock a wide range of times from over 6 hours down to sub 3. 2012 saw a major milestone for the EM and the AYE Club, the tenth anniversary of the current series. The club held a celebratory dinner with Scottish Olympic marathon runner Donald Macgregor as the guest of honour.
The AYE club has it's own website which has pre-race and medal photographs, information on the current members and a full set of reports to hold all the data about the AYE runners achievements. This can be accessed at: www.ayeclub.co.uk
