About This Event

Blast 5km Series takes place at The Meadows in Edinburgh on 22 December 2026 at 12:45. Registration opens at 12:00 at East Meadows Play Park with the race starting at 12:45. Entrants pay £7 for Scottish Athletics members or £9 for non-members. Medals cost an additional £5 and there are prizes across all age categories.

Taking place over 6 Tuesdays in the year, this flat, fast, officially measured and licensed 5K course is perfect for everyone, from beginners to seasoned club runners and juniors aged 11+. With prizes across all age categories (online entrants only), optional medals (£5 extra), and results submitted to Run Britain Rankings, it’s a great way to test your speed or simply enjoy a sociable mid-week run. Every entrant has the option of supporting a local charity, with a £1 donation - our running community raised £1,149.50 for local causes in 2025.
