A unique event featuring Europe’s largest inflatable slide is coming to Edinburgh as it visits Scotland for the first time.

It’s all part of Gung-Ho!, a seriously fun 5k run which launched earlier this year with thousands taking part in three successful events in England.

Now, CBeebies presenter Alex Winters, who came up with the idea, is bringing the Gung-Ho! course to the capital

Scottish thrill-seekers are being given the chance to show how Gung-Ho! they are as the event, which features 10 huge inflatables, heads to The Meadows next June.

“People have really embraced Gung-Ho! so we’re now rolling the event out across the UK. It’s a really fun challenge and it’s been great to see the smiles as people clamber, leap and bounce over the obstacles.

“Next year we’re taking Gung-Ho! to the next level, so start setting your fitness goals for 2016 by securing your place at next year’s event… that’s if you’re Gung-Ho! enough.”

The event takes place on June 11, 2016. Tickets are available now at a special discounted price of £30 and would make great gifts for friends and family this Christmas.
