We are very excited that one of the world’s most renowned charities, which fights poverty worldwide, has added Scotland’s biggest marathon to its portfolio, a measure of our event’s growth in recent years.

For the next three years Oxfam will become the principal charity partner for the Edinburgh Marathon Festival. Oxfam will have over 500 people running and they would love you to join them in 2011.

Oxfam - the 2011 Secondary Partner & Principal Charity Partner

Oxfam is a global movement of people passionate about putting an end to poverty. We respond fast in emergencies, and stay to help people rebuild their lives. We work on long-term projects with people determined to shape a better future. And we campaign for genuine, lasting change. Together, we’re up for moving mountains, going that extra mile. Together we’re humankind.

Determination is everything
As principal charity partner of the 2011 Edinburgh Marathon Festival, we’ll use every ounce of our determination to make sure our runners have the experience of a lifetime.

Join our team and you can bank on all the training support, nutrition advice and fundraising ideas you’ll ever need. Plus we’ll introduce you to our other runners, we’ll be here if you fancy a chat, we’ll cheer you until we’re hoarse, and we’ll make sure you get a massage and slap-up meal when you’ve completed your amazing achievement. Basically, we’ll make sure you’re the very best you can be.

And, because of your extraordinary determination, whole communities can work their way out of poverty. For good.
