My Name'5 Doddie Foundation 5K & 10K

The My Name’5 Doddie Charity Race is an Edinburgh running event supporting fundraising for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, featuring 5K and 10K races and a kids 1K Fun Run. It welcomes a broad range of participants, from children and novice runners to those aiming for personal bests, and the level paths simplify course understanding before the start. The route follows the broad paths around Gypsy Brae and Silverknowes Promenade, offering runners a straightforward waterside experience instead of a complex course. All finishers receive a medal, top performers are awarded prizes, and the finish area provides refreshments and an opportunity to meet Scott Hastings. A past event raised £1K for charity and £500 for a local school, demonstrating the race's clear community focus beyond individual performance.
