SprintELOpe: Lewisvale Park, Musselburgh
Wednesday 19th April

Thanks to all who came to this event. Results are here.  Apologies to the Urban runners who were blocked by the gate near control #1 which was unexpectedly locked during the event.

• 50p for juniors
• £2 for adults
• Postcode – EH21 7AR
• Grid Ref –  NT 348 717

  • White – Very easy – 1.0km
  • Yellow – Easy – 1.7km

Because the Urban Sprint involves road crossings, under 16s can only tackle this course if accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.

SI dibbers will be available for hire free of charge – but there is a £30 charge for lost dibbers.

Assembly will be at the main gate at the west end of the park. Parking should be available at the nearby Sports Centre across A6124 Newbigging Road.
