Edinburgh Marathon

The sun was out, Not a cloud in the sky.
It was a perfect day to go out for a small run.
Well 12,000 people took this too far.
They took part in the Edinburgh Marathon on the 31st May.
Even before the race started at 9am the temperature was in the teens
Explorers from the region were there to help with the baggage trucks again.
After loading on thousands of bags we left Princes Street before the race began and headed down to the finish line at Musselburgh race course.

The explorers had time to do what they do best,(Go on the lookout for food and juice)
Once stocked up with Lucozade we chiled out in the summer sun and wait for the runners to return.

The times were good and by 4pm(7 hrs into the race there were only 9 bags left to be collected.)
