Edinburgh Marathon Runners to receive free pizza at Edinburgh Street Food
The popular Leith Street venue offers complimentary Neapolitan pizza to Edinburgh Marathon participants running this Sunday.
Marathon runners crossing the finish line at this year's Edinburgh Marathon Festival will have another reason to celebrate – a free pizza waiting for them at one of the city's most popular food destinations.
Edinburgh Street Food, the permanent street food market located beside the OMNi Centre on Leith Street, will be offering complimentary margherita pizzas to all half and full marathon participants this Sunday, May 25th, from 3 pm to 10 pm.
The initiative, run in partnership with newly arrived vendor Razzo Pizza Napoletana, aims to reward the thousands of runners who will complete either the 13.1-mile half marathon or the full 26.2-mile course through Edinburgh and the surrounding areas.
'Community is at the heart of everything we do at ESF, and what better way to give back to the brilliant runners raising awareness and donations for worthy causes, than to invite them down for what's widely regarded as Edinburgh's best pizza – on us!' says Andrew Marshall, CEO and Co-Founder of Edinburgh Street Food.
Razzo Pizza Napoletana, which joined the Edinburgh Street Food family in March, specialises in authentic Neapolitan-style pizza made with quality Italian ingredients and traditional aerated dough techniques. The timing couldn't be better for hungry runners seeking post-race fuel.
To claim their free pizza, runners must wear their official 2025 EMF finishers' t-shirt to the venue. Upon arrival, they'll collect a token from the host, which can then be exchanged for either a classic or vegan margherita pizza at the Razzo counter. Additional toppings and upgrades will be available for purchase.
The street food market, which can accommodate over 600 diners across indoor and outdoor seating areas, will be operating as usual from midday on Sunday. With 11 food vendors and three bars under one roof, it provides ample space for runners to celebrate with friends and family while enjoying the post-race atmosphere.
The venue's central location on Leith Street (EH1 3AU) makes it easily accessible for runners finishing at Musselburgh, providing a convenient spot to unwind after the challenging course through Edinburgh's streets.
This community-focused gesture reflects Edinburgh Street Food's commitment to supporting local events and participants, particularly those fundraising for charitable causes through their marathon efforts. The offer runs until 10 pm, giving runners plenty of time to make their way to the venue after completing their race.
For those still hungry after their complimentary pizza, the full range of vendors and bars will be available throughout the evening, making Edinburgh Street Food a natural gathering point for the marathon community to celebrate their achievements.

Carlos Alcaraz feels he pushed Lorenzo Musetti to the limit in French Open semi
The defending champion secured his place in Sunday's Roland Garros showpiece after Italian eighth seed Musetti, who had won the first set, retired in the fourth while trailing 4-6 7-6 (3) 6-0 2-0. 'It's not the way that I want to win, to make the final,' said Alcaraz. 'I just wished him a speedy recovery. I hope to see him soon, on court again, enjoying his tennis again. 'In the first set I had a few break points that I couldn't make. I tried to stay there. I knew that I had chances. I was playing great. 🧡 — Roland-Garros (@rolandgarros) June 6, 2025 'It was just about a few mistakes or few things that made the difference in the first set. 'Then in the second set, it was pretty close as well. I ended up playing a great tie-break. I think his level went down a little bit, and I made the most of it. 'At the beginning of the third set, I knew what I had to do. I'm pushing him to the limit, try to make him run from side to side. 'In the end, you know, he had to retire, but I think it was a really important moment the beginning of the third set.' The 22-year-old Spaniard now has the chance to become the first man to retain the title since his idol, Rafael Nadal, managed it in 2020. Final bound 🔒 Carlos Alcaraz advances after Musetti is forced to retire due to injury 4-6 7-6(3) 6-0 2-0.@rolandgarros | #RolandGarros — ATP Tour (@atptour) June 6, 2025 Musetti played some exquisite tennis in the first two sets under the roof on Court Philippe-Chatrier. But the 23-year-old had treatment on his leg during a one-sided third set and called it a day after Alcaraz won nine games in a row. There were echoes of a match here four years ago when Musetti retired against Novak Djokovic at 4-0 down in the fifth, later saying he was not injured but that he quit because he was 'not able to win a point'. This time he revealed he had a problem with his thigh. 'I felt it at the beginning of the third when I was serving, I started losing a little bit of strength on the left leg, behind,' he said. Get well soon, Lore 🧡#RolandGarros — Roland-Garros (@rolandgarros) June 6, 2025 'Definitely it was going worse and worse, so I decided to stop. I think it was the right decision to make, even if it was not what I wanted.' Musetti is scheduled to play at Queen's Club in just over a week in the build-up to Wimbledon. But he added: 'It's too early to say. Of course in the programme it's next tournament Queen's, and then of course Wimbledon. 'But of course we are going to evaluate tomorrow what the examinations will say, and take a decision for what's next.'

Carlos Alcaraz to defend French Open title in final as Lorenzo Musetti retires
Italian Musetti won the first set and was playing some exquisite tennis under the roof on Court Philippe-Chatrier. But the 23-year-old had treatment on his leg during a one-sided third set and called it a day after Alcaraz won nine games in a row with the score 4-6 7-6 (3) 6-0 2-0. There were echoes of a match here four years ago when Musetti retired against Novak Djokovic at 4-0 down in the fifth, later saying he was not injured but that he quit because he was 'not able to win a point'. Alcaraz, who will bid for a fifth grand slam title on Sunday, said: 'It is never great getting through like this. 'Lorenzo is a great player. He has had an incredible clay season. He's one of the few players who has achieved the semi-finals. I wish him all the best and a quick recovery. 'The first two sets were really tough. I had chances to break his serve in the match and I couldn't make the most of it. 🧡 — Roland-Garros (@rolandgarros) June 6, 2025 'He was playing great tennis. When I won the second set, there was relief. In the third I knew what I had to do – pushing him to the limit and trying to be aggressive. 'I was more calm and I could see this more clearly and I could play great tennis.' An exciting match looked on the cards when at 5-4 Musetti, who had not previously threatened the Alcaraz serve, suddenly broke to take the first set. Alcaraz served for the second set but the tension he was feeling was palpable as Musetti broke straight back. A sad ending to a thrilling encounter 💔 Alcaraz is back in the Roland-Garros final as Musetti is forced to retire. #RolandGarros — Roland-Garros (@rolandgarros) June 6, 2025 However, Alcaraz reset in the tie-break and, although Musetti saved two set points, he dumped a third into the net. Musetti planted his hand onto his face after a bad miss handed the initiative to Alcaraz, who grabbed the early break in the third. Suddenly the shackles were off for Alcaraz while Musetti was labouring, winning just five points as the set disappeared over the horizon. The eighth seed had received treatment on his left leg but was still clearly hindered and when Alcaraz broke for 2-0 in the fourth, he decided he had had enough.
