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.
