Wednesday’s social run took us to East Linton with Dorothy and Billy Elliot showing off the new (improved) Traprain Race route. This will take place on Sat 11th Jun and is a Carnethy organised race. Turn up with a vest and your entry is free.
14 of us included a 14 month old (dog) and an 80 year old (legend) in Keith Burns trotted through the village and along the river with beautiful wild flowers lining the avenue. The river crossing was as fun as usual with one of us taking a dip. You will discover why on race day.
After the scramble up Traprain you return to the river and cross a bridge. Here is the change. You now turn left here, NOT right. You then discover the new weee hill. Oh what fun that will be on race day! The run back into East Linton descending through fields is sublime and fast with a sprint finish across the park to cheering crowds… Bravo for the changes.
Good luck and be safe this weekend on the Corbetts. You can still join in if you want.
