winton trail run april 9th, cheap, cheerful & a medal you can eat

Formally the Pencaitland Fun Run, the event is now into its 6th year and offers a unique opportunity to run off road through some of East Lothian's most beautiful countryside and the estate of Winton House.

This year we are delighted to be able to support the work of Marie Curie Cancer Care as well as local registered charities, the Pencaitland Primary School PTA and Pencaitland Playgroup, with the funds raised. 

There are clearly marked and marshalled off road routes for everyone to enjoy with hot & cold refreshments available throughout the afternoon. A new addition of a heated marquee in a prime location to see the finish line should enable runners and spectators to enjoy the event... whatever the weather!

We hope very much you will join us this year in what we hope will be a thoroughly enjoyable event!

Many thanks,

Janis Ward

women run strong- Edinburgh & also Dunkeld

This is the women only run happening on the 6th of march in Edinburgh..

not many spaces left- who fancies coming along- fizz at the finish...

Hi,

I just wanted to let you know that entries are open for Women Run Strong - Dunkeld. I know you enjoyed it last year so I'd love if you could join us on Sunday 15th of May 2016. 

We'll be at the Hilton again, taking the beautiful trail through Atholl Woods. Then back to the hotel and the marquee for bubbly, jelly babies, new surpise giveaways, spot prizes. As usual you can book lunch or use of the pool and spa.

I am delighted that there are already lots of sign ups, though I only opened it this week. There are only 200 places so if you want to be there best to sign up today: www.womenrunstrong.com

Finally, you might also be considering running at our Edinburgh event on 6th March. It's getting full now and places are strictly limited so please do sign up if you want to be part of Edinburgh's first women's trail run. The route is stunning, so surprising to find this landscape in the city, be warned though the 10km is tough!

If you like social media you might like to keep up the running motivation by joining the Women Run Strong-members private FB group. We talk about all things running, as well as the odd book reivew! Just click on the link and ask to join, I would be delighted to welcome you there.

Avril

jogscotland membership surge.

jogscotland Membership Surges

Written by runABC Scotland on Mon 18 Jan 2016

A record 365 people have signed up to join jogscotland since the beginning of 2016. The surge in membership is a regular occurrence in January thanks to the number of of New Year’s resolutions being made.

Head of jogscotland Billy Mitchell is delighted with the news: “It’s fantastic to see so many new members joining jogscotland this year. We’re already hearing from people who have taken part in their first ever jog session and come away buzzing with excitement as they realise they can achieve something they thought was going to be difficult or daunting.

“There’s no time like the present – if you’ve ever thought that you might like to jog one day, why not take the first step and join us now? Before you know it, you’ll be healthier and happier - not just for 2016, but for life.”

jogscotland has more than 500 groups across the country, catering for all abilities including complete beginners. Those who have never run before start together, building up at a pace that suits them, with the guidance of a qualified Jog Leader. jogscotland states that: “Nobody is too slow for jogscotland and nobody gets left behind.”
