Edinburgh - Holyrood 10k 2026 | Race for Life – Cancer Research UK

Edinburgh - Holyrood 10k 2026 is part of Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life series and takes place on Sunday 7 June 2026 at Holyrood Park. The event is a charity 10k that asks participants to raise funds for cancer research and aims to be inclusive for runners of all abilities. The race is chip‑timed so participants can track their performance and, if they wish, try for a personal best. The organiser emphasises community, achievement and shared celebration as core elements of the day.

The course starts and finishes on the main playing fields of Holyrood Park, begins with around 1 km on grass and is largely on roads with one notable incline. The route is described as wheelchair and pushchair friendly, though the steep section may require assistance. The event page highlights free fundraising support, training plans and community resources to help participants prepare and raise funds. Facilities are basic with toilets and refreshments available, and public transport is recommended since there is no on‑site parking.
