(1)About Running in Edinburgh on Verus
5 distances, 5 races: that is the spread Verus has found in Edinburgh so far, from 1 10K, 1 5K, 1 marathon, 1 half marathon and 1 ultra marathon. Whatever you are training for, there is likely a start line here for it.
Racing is sparse: the races Verus covers here fall in only 3 months of the year, May chief among them. Most runners based here will travel for anything outside that window.
The weekly running here is bigger than the race calendar implies: Edinburgh has 4 parkruns, free and every Saturday. Where races are few, that is where most of the running community actually gathers.
If nothing here fits your dates, the fullest calendars Verus covers elsewhere are Highland (9 races), Scottish Borders (7 races) and Argyll and Bute (7 races).

Smaller local races we've indexed but not written a full guide for. We link straight to the organiser rather than keeping you here — there's nothing we could tell you about these that they don't tell you better.
