The Gin Run is being organised by Archerfield Walled Garden in East Lothian, and will see runners take to the Archerfield estate to enjoy a 5k with a difference.

The sociable run will see runners enjoy gin serves at each 1k marker from four of the area’s top gin distilleries – including Eden Mill, The Old Curiosity Distillery, Fidra Gin and the Holyrood Distillery – before finishing off at the finish line with a gin cocktail.

A spokesperson for the North Berwick estate said: “Step away from the FitBit – it’s not that kind of run. Gather like minded friends and assemble for a run like no other.

“Every entrant will receive a goody bag and a gin cocktail at the end of the race and there’s no need to dash off afterwards – we will have a DJ and pizzas from Big Blu in our courtyard plus all of the gin distillers will be there to chat about their gin.”
