Dean Village and West EndWed 13 Jul

The Start and Finish for this event are beside the bridge over the Water of Leith at Stockbridge. This is beside the traffic lights at the junction of Saunders Street (which is a dead-end road beside the east side of the Water of Leith) and Kerr Street. It is a small gravel-surfaced park with several trees in it. (It's also the site of the Sunday Stockbridge market).

Public transport: Please try to use public transport to come to this event if you possibly can. Check Lothian Buses to plan how to get there.

Bike: It should also be easy to come to the event by bike especially if you live in the city or close to the city. A variety of quiet cycle route maps throughout the city are available on the Edinburgh City Council Quiet Routes web pages. It should be possible to find a place to lock your bike close by while you run.

Vehicle: There is permit parking in the surrounding neighbourhood which should be free after 5.30pm but please check this. Please park considerately in this residential neighbourhood.

There will be a long course of around 5km and a short course of around 3.5km although these are straight line distances so expect to run a good bit further than that. Sometimes the short course is simply a shorter version of the long course using the same map. Please check this on the evening when you arrive.

The courses are mainly on city streets which means that ALL under 16s MUST be accompanied by an adult throughout their course.

COURSE SAFETY NOTES: 1. Major roads marked with OOB symbol and only to be crossed at marked crossing points.
2. Crossing points marked on the map where there are traffic lights.
