 Club Medal Handicaps: During the summer we designate some local road or multi-terrain races as handicap events. Club members are given 10k target times based on performances, and the handicap winners are the male & female who perform best relative to their target times. In 2008 these are:: Dunbar 10k, Edinburgh 10k, Edinburgh Marathon, Peebles (Beltane) 10k, Sc Gas 5 & 10k races, Linlithgow 10k, Aviemore Half, and maybe a cross country race.

In August we have our own Pursuit handicap with runners starting in reverse handicap order (ie slowest first), aiming for a blanket finish. The course is off-road and predominantly downhill  or flat, following the Water of Leith walkway before joining the Forth & Union Canal heading into town. There are M & F prizes in "high" and "low" handicap categories (it's all relative, we just split the groups in half.)

Coffee & Cake runs to a coffee shop - for the more leisurely ("chat while we jog") runners.

Monthly Bog & Burn runs for those seeking the real off-road experience into the countryside or the Pentland Hills.

Social trips: A weekend in a pub / hotel, either in the UK or somewhere in Europe, with a run (suitable for non-running bag-carriers).

Track Nights: With a few folk doing track work, we organise a night of actual races on the track at Saughton. There are some interesting challenges issued!
