information SERVICE DETAILS

We hold two recreational club sessions each week. Wednesday evenings from The Royal Commonwealth Pool and Saturday mornings from Glenogle Swim Centre.

There is no per-run charge - If you enjoy our club and would like to continue running with us, after three visits we will ask you to buy a membership (just £15 per year, £5 student/unwaged rate).

To be an Edinburgh Frontrunner does NOT mean you have to run to take part.

EFR encourages their members to MOVE around this great city any way they want to. We have seen a growing number of members choosing to take part by walking. Most go for a comfortable stroll around the Meadows and Holyrood Park or along the Water of Leith or round the Royal Botanic Garden.

So if you're interested in a 45-60 minute walk with us, don't let all this talk of training put you off.

​After each run, we go to a nearby pub or café for food and drinks.

Wednesday Evening Session...

Time: 6:30pm. Please note many of our routes have limited lighting at night. While this is less of a problem during summer, wearing high-visibility clothing and head-torches is advised November to March.

​Where: The Royal Commonwealth Pool (We meet to the right of reception overlooking the pool)

Showers and Lockers are available (£2 + £1 (refundable ) for the locker). Lockers are not available without paying for a shower, so cars will be available for bag drops.

​Routes: Gentle walk-jog options, plus 6k, 8k and 10k distances for more advanced runners with variations around Holyrood Park, Duddingston, Arthur's Seat, and along the Innocent Railway Path. The nearby Meadows is also available as a less hilly option.
