Below you will find links to routes that ERN has used for training such as Sunday Runs, Summer Series Runs and Mid-Week Runs. There are also links to a selection of race routes. These may be of use to you for planning your own runs, possibly combining some, or parts of some together. Doing them back-to-front gives you a completely different perspective. Most are based on Sports Centres or the like where there are access to showers etc although please note that if you are not an Edinburgh Leisure member, a charge will apply. Others are based on easily accessed known locations such as the Dean Gallery (which has an excellent cafe!). Enjoy.
