Portobello Running Club       
 
 

 

Portobello Running Club is located in the east of Edinburgh where the city meets the Firth of Forth in the old seaside resort of Portobello. A majority of our runners live in in the local area or Edinburgh city centre, but others live as far afield as Haddington, Penicuik and Livingston.

The club has a wide mix of ages and abilities and is split fifty-fifty between male and female. Our Wednesday night training sessions generally last around an hour and anyone interested in joining the club should be able to run for this length of time at a steady jogging pace. If you think this is too demanding try Jog Scotland at:
  www.jogscotland.org.uk/

to get started.

Portobello runners compete regularly in long distance, hill and cross country races all over Scotland and beyond. Each year in June the club organises a four-mile road race under SA rules and a children's fun run along the promenade, raising money for local charities.
