The Meadows 5k and 10k
The Meadows 5k and 10k takes place in Edinburgh at Melville Drive, in The Meadows. The event offers two measured distances:
- 5 km
- 10 km
Races are fully chip timed, with the timing chip attached to the race bib that participants collect at the on-site registration desk on race day. The course includes kilometre markers, hydration stations, and marshals along the route. An instructor-led warm up is provided before racing, and finishers receive a medal and a goody bag containing sports nutrition snacks and offers.
Age restrictions follow Scottish Athletics guidance: 5k runners should be 11 or older, and 10k runners should be above 15. Children remain the responsibility of their parent or guardian, who must stay onsite.
