Edinburgh Winter Run 2024

Setting off from Holyrood Park, participants will take in the stunning scenery of East Lothian before looking across south Edinburgh to Peffermill and beyond to the Pentland Hills, before rounding back on the city and a downhill finish. The course is a demanding but enjoyable 5km loop of one of Edinburgh’s most iconic landmarks – Arthurs Seat.

Working in partnership with event organisers Durty Events, we can offer our staff and student community an exclusive discounted early-bird entry of only £15. This includes a branded University of Edinburgh buff for all University participants.
