The Flash Mob Run

It’s back! In true flash mob style we’re giving you short notice of the fifth Flash Mob Run taking place in the Pentland Hills, just outside Edinburgh.

In 2014, following a spontaneous Breaking Strain Events Facebook post, a group of nocturnal running enthusiasts gathered at the foot of the Pentland Hills ready to embark on a head-torch lit night run. It was no frills: just trail, rolling hills and some spooky forest. It wasn’t Flash.

There are no gimmicks, you’re not going to get electrocuted, the mud’s not up to your armpits and we’re not expecting you to get any wetter than that which is falling from the sky. The terrain is your obstacle. The Flash Mob Run may only be a shade over a 10K but don’t expect the course to be too easy; the Pentland Hills are steep, winter is coming and the trail goes ever up.

Oh, and there’s beer!
