Returning to Holyrood Park on February 7, 2026, this winter running festival features three race distances: a 5K, 10K, and a half marathon (four loops of the 5K course) through rolling terrain beneath the striking backdrop of Arthur’s Seat. The half marathon kicks off at 9:00 AM, with the 5K and 10K starting at 10:00 AM, all fully chip-timed and accessible to runners, walkers, wheelchair athletes, and stroller participants. Organized by The Fix Events, the Winter Warmer Run combines professional race logistics—such as staggered starts, bag drop, and clear course marking—with community spirit, crowd support, and post-race goodies. Proceeds go to Shelter, supporting efforts to combat homelessness across the UK, making the event both a fitness challenge and a charitable cause.
