So are there any lovely volunteers out there in Fetchland that are planning to or would consider being part of one of our wonderful Fetchpoints for this years Edinburgh Marathon Festival??

I had a blast spectating last year and being around the most excellent mini Fetchpoint last year and think the year before purely spectating and cheering on all I could.

Me, I think. I was going to try and convince Spicy to organise again as she made such a brilliant job of it last year ;-)

Duchess you guys were ace last year and being my first and possibly only Edinburgh marathon I know I would be most appreciative if you were there supporting.
You are now something of a celebrity on the marshalling/supporting circuts after all :-)

Star I am usless too. However you need not touch Edinburgh, head straight for Musselburgh and there is a decent amount of parking around. Mini Fetchpoint was pretty near the racecourse last year I think. Duchess or Spicey can correct me on that. If at the Musselburgh end of things though you see runners at I think something like 7 - 9 mile point and can then easily see them again at end.

Would be awesome to see a few smiling faces on the day.

I just need to figure out how I get to the start line lol.

Star, last year we were here:

Links View, Musselburgh if I've messed that link up. It's where the relay changes so we got to see both the Half and Full runners. 26 bus from the city centre, or a train out.
