View all races for Jul 2026

Race 1 of the 3 race Sundowner 5K Series takes place at Leith Links and is organised by Blast Running. The popular summer evening series visits three of Edinburgh's best loved parks, offering runners the opportunity to enjoy relaxed, friendly and professionally organised 5K racing throughout the season.

The chip timed course follows the park's inner trail paths on a clearly marked route supported by marshals throughout. Whether chasing a personal best, building confidence or simply enjoying an evening run, participants can enter a single race or complete all 3 events while tracking their progress across the series.

With medals for all finishers, age category prizes at every race, race photography and a special award for the most improved runner across the series, Race 1 provides a welcoming start to one of Edinburgh's most enjoyable summer 5K series.
