How To Get There

By road: Penicuik House is located 10 miles South of Edinburgh, between the A701 and the A702, off the A766 which joins the two roads. For most, driving will be the best means of getting there, so get some buddies together and road trip it! Use postcode EH26 9LA for your Satnav.

By train: Edinburgh Waverley is the second busiest station in Scotland, after Glasgow, and trains run into Edinburgh Waverley from destinations across Scotland and England, as far afield as Plymouth. There are direct buses to Penicuik from Edinburgh bus station - which is a short walk to the train station - which take about an hour.

Event Details

Minimum age for participants in the 5k, 10k and 15k events is 16 yrs

Start times will be from 9.30-10am through to approx 2-3pm, subject to numbers of participants. We will advise you of your start time about 7 - 10 days prior to the event date.

Please arrive on site around 1 hour prior to your start time, to get yourself registered, set up and ready to run!

Things you'll need to bring:

  • A print out of your ticket, a signed waiver (here), and photo ID. You can’t race without!
  • Cash for food and drinks on site - card payment machines out in the countryside can be temperamental. Car parking is £8 cash on the day.
  • Suitable clothing. This is up to you, but we'd suggest a warm change of clothes for after the event and gloves to use during (for all those nets and ropes). You will get muddy, and so will your trainers, so don't wear anything you are particularly precious about!
