We meet every Tuesday at Beeslack High School in the main car park at 7pm for varied sessions geared towards distance running and covering country, roads, marathon and hills.
We also have a hill session on a Thursday at 7pm, with the venue dependant on the season and current conditions. This is usually arranged on a week by week basis. During the winter months this is often at the Cornbank end of Rullion Road (meeting at the public telephone box) however in the warmer/lighter months we’ve moved the sessions into the Clerk Estate (behind the old Penicuik House).
At the weekends – depending on competitions – we arrange longer runs over country or hill; this is agreed and arranged by the runners themselves.
See our Find Us page for some push pins showing the above locations.
Hi Fiona
yes that’d be fine. If it’s hill training you’re after then Thursday nights may be more suitable for you. The session is hill reps using a slope to the east of Hillend ski centre. Tuesday nights is an intervals based session on flat ground.
Hope that helps. Get in touch if you’d like more info.

you don’t need to bring anything other than be changed and ready to run. We meet at 7pm in the car park at Beeslack school. Your friend will be fine, weather depending we intend on using the grass running track at Beeslack.
Hope to see you then.

Hi, Ive been doing some Hill training by myself on Artur’s Seat and have just entered to do the mighty dear stalker race in March. So trying to step up my training. Would it be possible to come along some evening to your training sessions?
Kind Regards

Hi Johanna, you’re welcome to come along to our training sessions. They’ll certainly help your training for the deer stalker! Probably best to come along on a Tuesday to start off with, then if you like it you can join up.
