The Terry Fox Run Edinburgh is a free, non competitive charity event held at The Meadows in the heart of the city. Participants can run, walk or roll around the park, with the event bringing the community together to raise funds for cancer research.
Runners follow a flat 5K route around The Meadows, making the event accessible to a wide range of ages and abilities. There is no emphasis on finishing times or competition, allowing participants to complete the course at their own pace and focus on taking part.
The event forms part of the international Terry Fox Run and continues the legacy of Canadian runner and cancer research campaigner Terry Fox. Participation is free, with optional donations supporting cancer research at The Institute of Cancer Research in the UK.
