Edinburgh’s Christmas is delighted to welcome When You Wish Upon a Star's beloved Santa Fun Run & Walk, celebrating 22 years this winter. Santas, Elves, Olafs and other festive creatures will run, jog or walk around the 2.5km circuit in West Princes Street Gardens to fundraise money for a very deserving cause. When You Wish Upon a Star is a Scottish charity that makes the dreams of children with life-threatening diseases come true. If you're worried about your furry friends feeling left behind, worry no more: Santa Paws is here! A Santa Run but for animals, Santa Paws sees our canine friends throw on their best festive outfits and make a run for it. With photo opportunities, activities throughout the afternoon and a dog show of best dressed pups on the Bandstand stage, West Princes Street Gardens is paw-sitively the place to be this festive season! Bring down your pooch for games, prizes and photo ops!
