Dunbar 10K and Family Fun Run

Please note that the entries for the 2014 Dunbar 10k Race (05 April 2014 at 11:00am) are now closed.

**Parking**
Please be aware that the car park at Hallhill fills up very quickly and will not be able to accommodate all runners.  There is car parking on Countess Road (go along Spott Road from the A1, under the railway bridge and left at the road end, then left after the zebra crossing and straight on - the other Hallhill entrance is next to the fire station), as well as a car park off Countess Road, almost opposite the fire station.  Please be considerate when parking as Traffic Wardens will issue fines.
 

There will also be a Family Fun Run of 3K which will take place on the same day at 10:00am, also starting and finishing at Hallhill Sports Centre.  Entries for the 3K are on the day only and not pre-entry - £3 per entrant.

Family Fun Run

If you fancy something a little shorter than a 10km, and something that the kids could run with you then why not enter the Family Fun Run. It's 3km and in the sheltered paths of Lochend Woods. We had a good turn out for this last year and lots of positive feedback. Spread the word and just turn up and enter on the day.
