1k Elf Dash at Dalkeith Country Park
Our 1k Elf Dash through Dalkeith Country Park is the perfect way to run off some of the pre-Christmas excitement and get the younger members of the family running headfirst into Christmas.
This festive fun run is open to all, including babies in buggies, littler legs (age 11 and under) and all your four-legged friends. The 1k route is flat and accessible along a section of The Park’s King’s Drive.
Ramping up the fun factor on this family outing – we are giving prizes for the best festively dressed elf and most jolly looking dressed up dog. So grab your Christmas cheer, put on your running shoes and come join us!
