The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS), the charity that owns Edinburgh Zoo, is looking for participants to run the Edinburgh Half Marathon on Sunday 10th April 2011 to help raise vital funds for conservation, education and research.
RZSS race participants can run for a wide range of projects both overseas and in the UK, from research into giant armadillos in South America, to veterinary training and equipment for sun bears in Cambodia, to educating school children about the importance of biodiversity in Scotland.
The 13.3 mile race will take place from Meadowbank Stadium to Musselburgh Racecourse and takes in some of the city’s most beautiful sights, including picturesque views across the Firth of Forth.
Roz McIvor, Acting Development Manager, said: -“If your New Year’s Resolution is to be healthier then taking part in the Edinburgh Half Marathon for RZSS is the perfect way to do it. You will get fit, have great fun and achieve something amazing, and you’ll also be helping to raise vital funds for RZSS and its conservation projects for endangered animals and environments around the world.”
Places for the Edinburgh Half Marathon are limited, so to secure your spot for the race contact the Development Department on 0131 314 0334 or email development@rzss.org.uk. You must be the minimum age of 17 on the day of the race, and we ask that you raise £150 in sponsorship for the charity.
