When You Wish Upon a Star
This year the Edinburgh Santa Fun Run & Walk celebrates 21 incredible years of our much loved festive fundraiser in the heart Scotland’s Capital.
Fundraising Santa’s & Elves will run, jog or walk around West Princes Street Gardens. Spread over a 2.5km circuit, this event is a great way to enjoy time with friends and family, whilst raising vital funds for local children’s Wish granting charity When You Wish Upon a star
What’s more, you don’t have to be a runner to take part.
All monies raised from the Edinburgh Santa Fun Run & Walk will be used to help fund magical Wishes for children aged 4-16 who live with life-threatening illnesses.
Sprinkle the Wish magic this Christmas!
