Welcome to the 5k Taster Tour Series!

Taster Tour Series #9: Ghosts and Graveyards Tour (Halloween Special)

When: Thursday 23rd October 2025 @ 12.30pm

Where: Start/finish point at St Andrew Square (meet at the south east corner)

Details: Dare to run through Edinburgh's darker side later this month? Get into the Halloween spirit, and join us for a 5k lunchtime tour around the Old Town's most sinster streets and shadowed closes before darkness descends. From echoing vaults beneath the Cowgate to the city's most haunted graveyards, you'll uncover legendary tales of body snatchers, witchcraft and restless spirits.

This is a 5k route that proves some stories never die.

NB: for first-time tourers with Stride Out, we are offering a fang-tastic FREE TRIAL TASTER TOUR (Only eligible to those with an EH postcode.) Please just select the relevant ticket at checkout. No code required.
