Edinburgh Winter Run

About Edinburgh Winter Run

Durty Events have joined forces with the City of Edinburgh Council to once again host the iconic Edinburgh Winter Run, a packed programme of running events for all the family at Holyrood Park.

We invite Edinburgh residents and visitors alike to dust off their trainers after the festive period and challenge themselves to the enjoyable Edinburgh Winter Run 5k race. We’ll have music all around the course to keep you going as you run to the beat of the drum.

The programme of events also includes the Toddler Dash, a 100 metre dash for the finish line for those aged up to 5 years old, accompanied by an adult, and the Family Mile, a flat one mile loop starting and finishing at on Queen’s Drive.
