The Edinburgh University Hare and Hounds would like to invite you and your club to our annual road race ‘KB5’ which takes place on the 7th March.
The race is a 5 mile route around King’s Buildings to the South of Edinburgh’s city centre. It promises to be a great day with runners of all ability taking part, many prizes to be won and it is also run for a great cause as we will be fundraising for the C-R-Y charity.

Hi Everyone,
As some of you may know Guy Learmonth qualified for the European Indoor Championships taking place in Prague in a few weeks time. Dave Hand sent Guy a message of congratulations on behalf of the club. Dave asked me to put Guy’s response on the website for everyone.
Hi Davy & all at Lasswade!
What a week I’ve had but now to stay focused and continue training hard for another 2 weeks before the Europeans. Was wanting a lot more believe or not as race was very scrappy for me but I’ll take it for now and puts me in good stead for Prague.
Thanks again for all your support and it was amazing becoming British Champ in the Lasswade colours!!!
Hope everyone is well and see you soon.
Warm Regards,
Guy

With the new Mondo track laid down at Grangemouth , there are rules over the spikes allowed to be worn by athletes.
Grangemouth staff have asked us to make clear that because the surface is not rubber crumb, there will be No needle/pin spikes allowed outdoors.
The recommended spike usage for a Mondo surface is Christmas tree or Pyramid spikes. These can be ceramic or steel and are available to purchase from reception at a cost of £9.…
Please note that staff will be checking athlete’s spikes when outdoors is open again and any athlete found to be wearing needle spikes will be asked to remove them immediately.
It is important that all Grangemouth users co-operate on this as clearly it is important the new track isn’t quickly damaged.
Remember it is the Athletes responsibility to ensure they have the appropriate spikes
Athletes can purchase them cheaper and shops like Run and Become, or on line from www.neuff.co.uk
Recommended spike usage for Mondo:
50m-400m: 1/8? 3/16? or 1/4? (3,5 or 7mm) Christmas Tree
800m-1500m: 1/4? (7mm) Pyramid or Christmas Tree
3000m-10,000m: 3/16? (5mm) Pyramid
Pole Vault: 1/4? (7mm) Pyramid or Christmas Tree
Javelin: 1/4? – 1/2? (7-13mm) Pyramid
High Jump: 1/4? – 3/8? (7-9mm) Pyramid
