Three parks. Three summer evenings. One brilliant reason to keep your trainers by the door.

This relaxed and friendly Summer Evening 5K Series takes you on a tour of some of Edinburgh’s best-loved green spaces - Inverleith Park, Leith Links and Fettes.

Wednesday 3rd June - Inverleith Park
Wednesday 1st July - Leith Links
Wednesday 26th August - Fettes

Perfect for post-work running, each event offers a welcoming atmosphere whether you’re chasing a PB, building confidence, or simply enjoying a run in good company.

Take part in one race (£12) or all three (£30) and see if you can get a little quicker each time. With supportive marshals, clearly marked routes and a great buzz on the night, it’s all about summer running done right - no pressure, just progress (and a bit of fun along the way).

Additional Dates: 01 July 2026, 26 August 2026
