We knew all this drinking and enjoying ourselves would catch up with us eventually! Feeling very unhealthy, we think the upcoming Great Edinburgh Run, on Sunday the 2nd of October, is the ideal way to get back on the road to fitness, blow away some cobwebs and raise money for worthy causes.
Last year’s event featured over 10,000 runners (it’s the 10,000 metres we’re more worried about…) on a beautiful day in Scotland’s capital, traversing a route that took in many of Edinburgh’s most famous tourist sights including the Royal Mile, the Castle and the Scottish Parliament Building.
Get Your Running Shoes On
This year’s event promises to be just as big an occasion, with the day’s programme including an earlier 5K race, the main 10K event and even a junior run. All runners will receive a T-shirt, finisher’s pack and souvenir medal, whether you’re an elite athlete (like us) or just there to enjoy it and have a go. Full details and how to enter can be found here.
With so many turning up from far and wide to take part, sleeping space is likely to be a bit of a squeeze, so if you’ re keen to join in but don’t want to be stuck trying to exit town with the thousands of other runners after the finish, why not book a night in our luxury city-centre aparthotels?
We’re just a short walk from the race route and you’ll be able to relax (or recover) at your leisure in a private apartment with your own comfortable lounge and kitchen area, then get a good night’s sleep to rest your tired legs, lungs and anything else that hurts. Of course, our friendly staff are on-hand 24/7 to assist with any enquiries you might have – we’re not sure they’ll oblige with a massage, but you can always ask…
