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.

Club Championship 2010
Best five of nine races
Minimum of five required to win prize.
Saturdays Any Park Run 5K 9am/9.30 2010 Any Marathon (let Willie J know) . 21/03/10 10am 3/04/10 Dunbar 10K 11am 1/05/10 11am 20/06/10 9.45/10.15 23/06/10 7.30pm 25/06/10 7.30pm 24/07/10 Musselburgh 10k 10.30am 1st EDCC league race tbc After it was noticed that 3 of the championship races all occur in the same week - 7 Hills, Red Moss and Sandy Slither on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday, the committee decided that the best thing to do (in case members were on holiday or injured that particular week) was to add another race. The Musselburgh 10k seemed to fit our bill and is a long way from other championship races. Of course if you enjoy a lot of races in the same week you could always do a parkrun or 2 in late June.
