The walkers are ready for the off later this evening, and the gates at Holyrood Park where the start and finish lines for the Moonwalk have opened around 8.30pm.
There are four distances : New Moon 6.55 miles, Half Marathon 13.1 miles, Marathon 26.2 miles and Over the Moon which is 52.4 miles. The walkers have to look out for these signs which are all over the city centre!
Good luck to all the Moon Walkers for later tonight 👣 – hoping it stays dry @WalktheWalk #MoonWalkScot #Edinburgh pic.twitter.com/RqYvJuPEi8
