Join Interval, The Free Company and Hoka on Saturday, 2nd August for a day of trail running, delicious food, and community celebration.

RUN WITH US

For Trail Sessions #3 we’re doing a 13km marked and marshalled route which will start and end at The Free Company, taking you throughout the surrounding forestry and enjoying views across Edinburgh.

Jog, walk, or race the route – it’s completely up to you. There will be a variety of prizes available from Hoka, from best photo to quickest time.

Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome to join the adventure—just be mindful of livestock and other runners.

EAT & DRINK

Start the day with fresh tea, coffee, and pastries—the perfect fuel before hitting the trails. After your run, gather around for a seasonal communal feast prepared by The Free Company. Your ticket includes a two-course meal, crafted with ingredients grown and raised on the farm—hearty, nourishing, and made to be shared.

At the bar, you’ll find a carefully curated selection of natural and organic wines, local beers, seasonal cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks—the perfect way to round off the day.
