context_page_description: The Great Edinburgh Run was an annual ten-mile road running event which took place in the city centre of Edinburgh in Scotland. The last event was in April 2017 and the organiser have no plans to reinstate the event at present. Part of the Great Run series of competitions, it was formerly a 10 km event, switching to the ten-mile distance in 2014.
  The event was first held in 1993 under the title of the Great Caledonian Run. The race was moved from Edinburgh to the Balmoral estate in Aberdeenshire in 1998 and was hosted there for seven years as part of the Balmoral Road Races, a collection of race from 3 km to 10 km. The Caledonian run became more of a national level competition in its stint in Balmoral as the 5-mile race. The race in Balmoral was voted as the nation's most scenic run by Runner's World magazine in 2004. The competition was financially supported by Scottish Enterprise Grampian in a partnership to promote tourism in north-east Scotland, but after the BBC decided to stop televising the event the decision was made for it to return to Edinburgh in 2005.
