Are you a Hairy Haggis?
Posted by Corrina McGowan - 01/02/2008
You are invited to be part of a Homeless World Cup Hairy Haggis Relay Team and run in the Edinburgh Marathon on Sunday 25th May 2008. Run and help raise much needed funds for Melbourne 2008!
Inaugurated in 2004, the Marathon Relay has a capacity of several hundred teams of 4 people who each run approximately 1/4 of the course i.e. 5-8 miles.
The relay is a separate event from the marathon that will run alongside the main race on the marathon route.
Homeless World Cup staff and volunteers will also be participating and supporting you along the way and at the finish line.
The Edinburgh Marathon offers runners a personal challenge with a spectacularly scenic route, which takes them past many of Edinburgh’s and East Lothian’s famous landmarks and tourist attractions. The preparations for 2008 are all-ready well on the way.
The Edinburgh Marathon is more than just a race – it is a festival of fun with on-route entertainment and finish-line celebrations. The race day will also reflect great human spirit thanks to the thousands of runners raising much needed funds for charitable causes.
USEFUL EVENT DETAILS
- The event is scheduled for Sunday 25th May 2008
- The Homeless World Cup staff and volunteers will offer you support in the lead up to and during the event.
- You will receive a Homeless World Cup t-shirt to wear on the day.
- The entire race is a full marathon and the distance is 26.2 miles or 42 km & 164.8 m.
- To participate runners must be at least 18 years of age on the race day. Relay runners can run from the age of 15 but this depends on the distance of the leg run (less than 10K)
- Edinburgh Marathon is the second largest full marathon in the UK.
- The scenic course has been designed for runners to see as many aspects of Scotland’s wonderful capital and scenic eastern coastlines as possible.
- The relay event has proved a huge success with hundreds of teams of runners taking part on the day. This is a great way for runners to raise funds for charity too because they can share the fundraising between the team.
Be a Hairy Haggis and run for the Homeless World Cup!
