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
Dalgety Bay.
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.
