Pride Run 2026: Friday 19th June 2026, Holyrood Park, 7pm start

​​

Following the success of last year’s Edinburgh Frontrunners 5K Pride in Holyrood Park we are delighted to be returning - and this time we are hoping to have even more of you join us!

Happening on the eve of the Edinburgh Pride event, once again we are running around the beautiful Holyrood Park. You'll do one loop taking in Arthur's Seat, Holyrood Palace and stunning views right across the city and out to the coast.

The surface is paved. The course features a 1.5km uphill part near the start, balanced out with a lovely 1.5km downhill in the second half of the course. The views make it worth the effort!

We will be providing a bag check at the start/finish line at the start line and have arranged for the public toilets at the Holyrood Park Education Centre to remain open until 9pm (approx. 200m away from the assembly point).

Registration and number pick up is 6pm - 6.45pm.

We are committed to making our events as accessible as possible. Concession rates are available for anyone who may be experiencing financial hardship or who belongs to groups that typically benefit from reduced pricing. If you would like the concession rate then please do so.

At the EFR Pride 5K we believe that everyone is welcome to be who they are and having decided that we will be organising our run as a non-competitive fun run. Don’t worry however: we are still timing everyone and the course will measure exactly 5km so you can still chase that personal best! And of course there will be prizes awarded in a number of fun categories - like best team costume or like best photo-finish.

We very much look forward to welcoming you to the beginning of a truly fantastic Edinburgh Pride weekend!
