running tour of edinburgh [FREE]

Hi,

We are getting in touch to ask if you could pass on some information about the first ever running tour in Edinburgh to your JogScotland group (or anyone else you think may be interested). The tours are FREE to everyone for a limited period between now and 5th September 2012.

Our tour follows part of the Olympic Torch route whilst taking in some of Edinburgh historic sights – some obvious and some not so obvious. The Staying Alive Running Club’s ethos of using running to socialise means it will be manageable for all running abilities.

We think this is an ideal opportunity for JogScotland members to come along for a social run and do something a bit different during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Here’s some of the key features of our running tour:

  • It’s completely free to everyone,
  • It’s just 3 miles long with 16 stops so it will cater for all levels of ability to run, walk and talk!
  • Starts at the Commonwealth Pool and finishes at the Grassmarket,
  • Lasts around 1 hour 30 mins,
  • There will be the option of having a social drink with your fellow tour runners afterwards,
  • We guarantee you will learn things about Edinburgh you never knew so it caters for both locals and non-locals,
  • You can leave a small bag of personal belongings at the start and they’ll be transported to the finish for you – this is free too!


There will be 8 free running tours during the festival – the dates are:

·             Sundays: 12th, 19th, 26th August & 2nd September @ 11.00am
·             Wednesdays: 15th, 22nd & 29th August & 5th September at 7.00pm

Remember every tour is FREE and it’s easy to book your place on our tours:
