My Name'5 Doddie 5K / 10K & 1K kids race

  • Blast Running 50 W Shore Rd Scotland, EH5 1QH United Kingdom (map)

Take on the My Name’5 Doddie Charity Race and run for a fantastic cause! Set along the wide, flat tarmac paths of Gypsy Brae Recreation Ground and the Silverknowes Promenade, this event is suitable for runners of all abilities - from little legs to seasoned racers.

Choose your distance: a 5K or 10K challenge, or bring the kids along for the 1K Fun Run. Every participant crosses the finish line with a medal. Post-run snacks and drinks provide the perfect opportunity to relax, catch up with friends, and snap a selfie with Scott Hastings!

Last year, together we raised £1K for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation and £500 for Cramond Primary School’s playground refurbishment - let’s see if we can do even better this year!
