THE ORIGINAL RAT RACE

VisitScotland, EventScotland and Edinburgh City Council welcome you to "Auld Reekie", the volcanic city that’s bubbling with activity, adventure, street-life and a vibrant night-scene. The setting for the first ever Rat Race urban adventure challenge, Edinburgh will always be one of the World’s most exciting cities for exploring, climbing, kayaking, mountain-biking and generally running amok. It’s got sand, sea, cliffs and hills, alongside a spectacular built architecture all of its own. 1000 years of human history dangle tantalising close to millennia of natural wonders as the rugged aspect that greets the visitor from every which way makes the spine tingle in even the most seasoned of adventurers.

This is the original Rat Race adventure for all of those reasons. Edinburgh’s dramatic city-scape is truly breathtaking; from the Volcanic plug sitting within the centre of the city to the imposing fortress of Edinburgh Castle dominating the skyline of the medieval Royal Mile, this is the home of the Rat Race and you will find out why!
