Running from September 2 through December 16, 2025, the Blast 5km Series @ The Meadows invites runners of all levels—beginners, club athletes, and youth aged 11+—to a lively Tuesday lunchtime 5K through Edinburgh’s iconic Meadows. Each race begins at 12:45 PM, with registration handled on-site between 12:00–12:30 PM; entry is £7 for members and £9 for non-members (including a £2 insurance levy). Participants enjoy an officially measured and licensed course, optional finisher’s medals, and results submitted to UK Run Britain rankings, with prizes awarded in multiple age categories. The events support the local Ferrywell Youth Project, with over £517 raised so far in 2025 and donations of £1 per runner continuing throughout the series. Organized by Blast Running, these runs combine inclusive participation, competitive timing, and a charitable mission in a unique lunchtime format.
