No, I'm not talking about my performance at training last night... 
I'm not going to pretend this is my idea as Kevin Bloy did post a link on Facebook a while back but I've looked into it and it looks like great fun. The Speed of Light is an event that will take place throughout August in Edinburgh as part of the festival. Each night loads of runners will wear light suits and run up Arthur's' Seat to make a display. I'm not going to try to explain any more - if you like the sound of it please have a look on eif.co.uk/speed-of-light.
You have to book and many dates are full so if anyone wants to do it I think we should book soon. I'm going to do it anyway but thought it would be good if a gang of us all ran it on the same night. I really don't know many details but I Imagine it'll be fairly late so I'd be up for staying overnight (either with friends / family or a cheap travel lodge). For those that work you might need to drive home after, or stay over and get up early in the morning. Depending on numbers we can take a couple of cars and those that can go early can travel together and those that are working can go up after and same on the way home.
All of the Friday and Saturday nights are gone so I've listed the available dates below. Please reply if you're interested, and if there are any dates you're not available. Once everyone has replied I'll pick the best date and we can all try to book.
Wednesdays: 15, 22, 29th
Thursdays: 16, 23, 30th
Sundays: 19, 26th
