Edinburgh Christmas 10k, 5k & Santa Toddle

The Edinburgh Christmas 5k & 10k Runs are open to all seasoned runners or beginners.

Sunday's 5k starts from the centre of Inverleith Park, next to the Royal Botanic Gardens of Edinburgh, before looping around the Water of Leith banks and past the historic Fettes College.

The first half of the 10K follows the same route as the 5K run, however, instead of finishing back at the Royal Botanic Gardens, athletes undertake a second loop. Participants will run on the opposite bank of the Water of Leith, through the beautiful roads of northern Edinburgh, before finishing back in Inverleith Park itself.

This annual event is now in its sixth year and goes from strength to strength with over 30 charity stalls to browse around within the comfort of a large marquee you can even stay awhile for a snack at the coffee / tea bar.

There are lot’s of activities for the kids, with the opportunity to see the reindeer close up and the chance to meet Santa in his grotto (pre-booking recommended!)

This fantastic 1500 metre guarantees to get your little ones burning off the excitement of Christmas. This fun run is great for all the family, a part of the Edinburgh Christmas Running festival, there will plenty of chances for them to meet Santa too. Join for a great day out.
