Holyrood parkrun (Edinburgh) - #66 Scottish parkruns

Join us at Holyrood parkrun for our 66th Scottish parkrun! Holyrood parkrun is located in central Edinburgh and consists of a single loop around Holyrood Park. This is a challenging course, with the route ascending a good chunk of the spectacular Arthur's Seat.
Craig and I successfully completed all the Scottish parkruns during 2018, of which there were 43. Since then we have attempted to keep up with the numerous new events!

I’ve run this route for years, every time I’m “home”, really looking forward to doing it as a parkrun!

[@Scottishparkruns]

Awesome! I’m sure you’ll enjoy it 😃

[@JarlathReganComedy]

Brilliant video. Thanks so much for doing this. I’m doing it tomorrow. Can’t wait.

[@Scottishparkruns]

You’re welcome ☺️ I hope you have a good run 😄

Wonderfully dramatic drone footage! Another excellent video of a really great parkrun event.

[@Scottishparkruns]

Thanks Sally 😊

[@tobyk8125]

Looks like a bucket list kind of course to me

[@Scottishparkruns]

It was great Toby, definitely recommend it 😃

Hey Douglas! Just saw that another new Scottish parkrun launched 19/11/2022 Erskine Waterfront. Looks like a good one. Will be looking out for your video soon. Cheers! 👍🏃🏃🏃

[@Scottishparkruns]

Thanks Liz! I should be heading there this weekend if things go to plan.

[@zzkiplington]

Nice footage, all we need to know.We’re there 11/3/23. Glad it’s the Hill first and not last.Regards.

[@Scottishparkruns]

Thanks John 😊 It’s definitely good to get the hill out of the way first. I couldn’t imagine having to do that at the end 😧 I hope you get a good day for it 😃

[@paulk7663]

Great video guys - hoping to get to run this next Saturday when I’m up in Edinburgh.

[@Scottishparkruns]

Thanks Paul! I hope you get some good views from the top. Have a good run 😃

[@alistairhunter4513]

I saw you in the distance beforehand but didn't want to disturb you by asking for a world famous five step guide, great video as always!

[@Scottishparkruns]

Thanks Alistair 😊 If you ever see me again please come up and say hello! One of the things I love about parkrun is meeting folk and chatting to them 😃

[@workouteveryday]

Great video bro, thanks

[@Scottishparkruns]

Thank you 😄

[@workouteveryday]

@@Scottishparkruns you're very welcome bro🤣

[@Sam.Barclay]

Great video, I really enjoyed Holyrood. Great views and one of the few hilly runs where the downhill actually seems to make up for the uphill 😁

[@Scottishparkruns]

Thanks Sam! Yeah, you’re absolutely right about the downhill. Just wish it went all the way to the finish 😂 The flat section at the end felt very tough.

[@NathanHeaver]

@@Scottishparkruns could be worse have that uphill as the finish

[@Scottishparkruns]

Oh definitely! Much better to get it out the way at the start 😃

[@tedland3016]

flying there Doug awesome running. the guy on the right 2:34 min makes it look so easy. i recently visited the UK for 7 weeks and did some great parkrun's. if your ever in Wales you must try Coed Cefn-pwll-du. very similar to this one: 1 mile up, one undulating and the 3rd been down hill. warning my idea of undulating (rolling hills) and theirs's was different. all the best

[@Scottishparkruns]

Thanks Ted! I’ve still to do a parkrun in Wales, so I’ll keep that on my list 😃

[@stevenlennie]

Was not far behind you that weekend. Had to do four laps yesterday for the Winter Half Marathon

[@Scottishparkruns]

Wow, 4 laps would be tough going! Well done 👏

[@iaintaylor5585]

I ran a charity 10k there - 2 laps. The Killer Hill is not any easier on the 2nd lap.

[@Scottishparkruns]

Ooft, well done! I can imagine that’s pretty tough - once was enough for me 😆

[@markfindlay8636]

Hi Calum, how's things?

[@callumsmith7797]

Good to hear from you Mark. You'd like that parkrun.

[@Scottishparkruns]

Callum always the centre of attention 😂
