sunday run with a difference?


Sun 21st September 10:00am	City Centre 'Pavement Palaeontology' Run To complete a weekend of running fun around the Equinox, we have the Pavement Palaeontology run! My plan is to start out from the Royal Society of Edinburgh building at 1000. This one is kids and bikes friendly. We will have a trot over to Market Street to see the Edinburgh City Council buildings that are full of fossils, stop further up to tell the tale of Save the Fishes!, head up the Scotsman Steps and thence to the Commonwealth Pool to meet one of our relatives, a Devonian lungfish. We will then have an option pop up to Salisbury Crags to see Hutton's Section, which is a key site in the History of Geology. I suggest the Salisbury Arms for afters, as they seem to tolerate kids but if anyone has a better idea, let me know. If you plan to come along, the one thing that will improve your enjoyment is a magnifier of some sort. Even a cheap magnifying glass or the magnifier on your compass will help. Do let me know if you plan to join us. al mcgowan from carnethy; mailto: alandchristine@googlemail.com

What is Edinburgh parkrun?

Where is it?

It's run on Edinburgh promenade. See Course page for more details.

What does it cost to join in?

Nothing - it's free! but please register before your first run. Only ever register with parkrun once. Don't forget to bring a printed copy of your barcode (request a reminder). If you forget it, you won't get a time.

How fast do I have to be?

We all run for our own enjoyment. Please come along and join in whatever your pace!

Edinburgh parkrun needs you!

It is entirely organised by volunteers - emailedinburghhelpers@parkrun.com to help.

We're friendly!

musselburgh 10k fun.

well done all those who travelled to musselburgh on saturday morning for a wee fast & flat 10k.
good to see some watchers too. [Brendan & Colin take a bow!]
although it wasn't baking hot sunshine like last year-it certainly was still hot. so hot in fact my flake almost melted before i got it into my ice cream!
might manage some pictures on this too but the excellent bob marshall was out & about taking excellent photos of everyone [except me it would appear!]
