Rigg Race Balerno

The Rigg Race is an annual running event organized by Harmeny AC, typically held on the Monday evening of Balerno Children’s Gala week in late May. The race features a scenic 6-mile course starting at Malleny Park, leading runners through the village of Balerno and along Rigg Road, before returning to the Rugby Club grounds. Participants receive a medal upon finishing, with additional prizes for various categories.

The event has a rich history, evolving from a walking event to a popular race open to all, and serves as a fundraiser for the local Gala. Online registration is available, with entries opening in early April. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
