Who
Harmeny Pentland Runners is the recreational running arm of Harmeny Athletic Club. We currently meet three/four times a week all year and follow a variety of routes, most of which follow country roads and trails. A couple of times a year we organise social runs and outings.

All standards are welcome.  We cater for beginners by organising a jogscotland  beginners programme, and on normal club nights we try to ensure their is a qualified jogleader to run with newcomers or at the back of the group. There is no charge for turning up & running with us. If you decide to come along regularly then we hope you'll join.

Where
We are based in Balerno, a village on the edge of Edinburgh, and usually meet in Balerno High School Car Park.
Driving from Edinburgh: Follow the Lanark Rd / A70 through Juniper Green, Currie and at the traffic lights turn left into Balerno. The High School is on your left hand side, and the entrance to the car park is immediately after the school building.
