2025 events:
Your Race . Your Pace
All our runs are chip timed however our spirit is that we are here to support your personal running goals. Whether you are trying to break 20 minutes or 40 minutes for your 5km the clock only starts timing you when you cross the start line.… can you sneak under your PB?
Social Conscience
From the very first runner across the start line on 29th September 2019 we have been supporting local charities and causes close to our hearts.
We have fundraised for Play Therapy Base, The MS Society Scotland, Fresh Start, Cramond Playgroup, Rosa UK, Citadel Youth Centre, My Park Scotland, SSAFA (The Armed Forces Charity), The Water of Leith Conservation Trust, Young Lives Vs Cancer, RNLI, Held in Our Hearts, 500 Miles, Kidney Kids Scotland, Richmond’s Hope, Firefly International and the Scottish Refugee Council.
Since 2019 we have raised over £20K (updated Jan ‘25) and thank you ALL for your help in raising this much needed money or these wonderful charities!
