Stonehaven Half Marathon

Hi Everyone

 

An invitation to come and join us on Sunday 6th July in Stonehaven for the annual Half Marathon, Ury Estate 3K Fun Run and Stonehaven 1K Fun Run. Entry to the half marathon also gives you free entry to the famous Stonehaven Openair pool (www.stonehavenopenairpool.co.uk)

 

For further details go to www.stonehavenhalfmarathon.com or enter online at www.born2run.co.uk . Online entries will be closing soon but you can still enter on the day.

 

Hope to see you there.

MUSSELBURGH

The Musselburgh Festival Race (26th July) has changed it's start time and venue.

It is now, also, a full 10K rather than simply 6 miles.

 

Details can be found at Musselburgh's web site http://www.musselburghac.com/

 

Please remember this is one of our championship races.

Dunbar V Wagga

As mentioned. Dunbar has been invited to a race....

...with a difference.

 

A 10k is to be held between Dunbar Running Club and Wagga Wagga Road Runners this Saturday.

Don't worry you don't have to go to Australia (though they could come over here if they fancy it).

 

We will run our "part" of the race (the Boundary course) this Saturday from Hallhill (start at 11am). Wagga will run a 10k over there (at a time more suitable to them obviously).

 

Then, thanks to the wonders of the Internet, the results will be merged and compared.

DUNFERMLINE - AULD TOUN 10K 07/05/08

A beautiful sunny Spring evening. What better way to spend it than a challenging 10k round Dunfermline?

Answers on a postcard please.

CLUB SUMMER OUTING

As members may be aware, it had been hoped to get a bus to go to the Northumberland Costal Run.
However, the huge popularity of this event has seen it fully subscribed and few members have managed to get a place.
Which leaves "us" with a dilemma (this being the "royal" "us" i.e. the committee). Where should we go for a day out?
We need to act quickly.

Three possible choices that may be worth considering are:

1) The Heart Of The Park Challenge in Braemar on 13th July. This is a 12km multi terrain/mud fest type race. Details here: http://www.pjwells.uklinux.net/

2) 15km Trail Race in Kielder Forest, Northumberland on 20th July http://www.allterrainevents.com/

3) The Famous Grouse 10k in Crieff on 13th July. A multi terrain 10k route with a bit of a climb. http://www.strathearnharriers.org.uk/Crieff10k.htm

Note that none of these events are included in, or will count as, championship races. They are just there for the fun of it.

Please email your preference (if any) to dunbar.running@gmail.com by Friday 23rd May and we will get the ball rolling.

We will book the bus. We will book somewhere to eat. But it will be up to the individual members to enter the race.

EDINBURGH TO NORTH BERWICK - 3rd May 2008

Well done not only to those who took part, but also to those who came out to cheer them along - much appreciated!

Wanted - Volunteers

As you know the Edinburgh Marathon is just four weeks away and once
again Anne is looking for people who are willing to marshal on the
day.

This year we have been allocated sector 7 - Port Seton Links to Lyar's
Road Junction which is 13.6 miles to 15.7 miles into the marathon
heading out and 19.6 miles to 21.6 miles heading back. The
anticipated time for the first runner coming into the sector is 10:08
with the last runner leaving the sector at 14:39.

If you are interested in being a marshal on the day, please let Anne
know as soon as possible.

Thanks
