Event details

Spaces are now available for EMF 2026 and with a team relay, full marathon, half marathon, 10K or 5K, there's something for everyone. There's also junior runs for our younger supporters too!

We'd love to see you in our red tees, pounding the streets of the capital to raise funds for Friends of ANCHOR.

Get in touch today and we'll get you sorted with a personalised fundraising pack, event day t-shirt and support as you take on the challenge.

Every penny counts

All admin costs are fully funded by Balmoral Group

We are in the unique position that every penny of your pounds raised goes directly to the cause. No costs deducted for the fundraising team salaries. Nor for any administration costs. Neither is there a percentage taken from your donation for the running costs involved in operating the fundraising office.

Since the charity was founded in 1997, every penny of these running and administration costs have been fully covered by Balmoral Group. With all these expenses taken care of, your money is freed up to make a direct difference in the lives of cancer and haematology patients throughout the North-east of Scotland.
