Diggers Dash

One Route. Two Pubs. One Great Cause. Join us for the Diggers Dash , an untimed charity run or walk connecting The Athletic Arms (Diggers) in Edinburgh with Diggers Leith, following the Water of Leith Walkway along the way.

We're teaming up with the National Deaf Children's Society (NDCS) for a relaxed, community-focused event, while raising money for a brilliant cause.

This isn't a race. There are no timing chips, no race numbers and no prizes for finishing first. Run, jog or walk the approximately 9K route at your own pace, enjoy the scenery and finish up with a well-earned pint. THE ROUTE The Athletic Arms → Roseburn → Water of Leith Walkway → Dean Village → Stockbridge → Canonmills → Bonnington → Leith → Diggers Leith
