Race for Life Holyrood Park 5K takes place in the dramatic surroundings of Holyrood Park in Edinburgh. The route is mainly on roads and circles the area around Arthur’s Seat, offering panoramic views across the city and some of Scotland’s most recognisable urban scenery.
Part of the wider Race for Life series, the event welcomes participants of all abilities whether running, jogging or walking. The course includes a significant climb before returning through the park, creating a more challenging 5K experience than many traditional park based routes.
