Holyrood Park 5k/10k/Half Marathon
Up and Running Events stages measured, chip timed races at Holyrood Park in Edinburgh. The event offers three distance options:
- 5 km
- 10 km
- Half marathon
Runners collect their race bib and chip at the registration desk on event day; the desk typically opens about an hour and a half before races. The race chip is attached to the bib and must be secured to an outer garment to register a time. Event information is issued after registration via the booking partner Let's Do This and further race-day details are emailed to participants in the week before the event; race information is also stored in the participant online profile.
Course features include hydration stations, kilometre markers, course marshals, music, an instructor-led warm up, and goody bags with sports nutrition snacks and offers. Children may take part subject to Scottish Athletics guidelines: 5k runners should be 11 or above and 10k runners should be above 15. Dogs are not permitted on the course. Standard headphones are not allowed; bone-conduction headphones are permitted.
Entry and administration notes: online entries typically close two days before the event unless sold out, and on-the-day entries are generally available. The organiser accepts transfers and refunds according to set timeframes, and will issue credits if an event is cancelled or postponed.
