John Buchan Way - Club Run, Sunday 9th February

Our annual Club running of the John Buchan Way - Broughton to Peebles ~13 miles - on Sunday 9th February. Run Leader - Alan Elder
Route (but we do it from Broughton to Peebles)
Route here: https://walkscottishborders.com/route/john-buchan-way/

Meet at Gytes Leisure Centre Peebles at 10.00 for prompt departure
Divy up into cars and head up to Broughton Place for start of run (plan to be running by 10.30)
Run usually takes ~2 hrs (10 min mile pace inc stops) - we will try and run as a group, with regular regrouping at suitable landmarks.
Probably advise bringing a snack, it's a trail shoe footwear choice and full body cover - there will be stops, and particularly for faster runners, you will be running much below race pace, so don't get cold !


All going to plan, back in Peebles ~12.30, with the option of some food and refreshments at the Bridge Inn after.


Please fill in the doodle poll if you are planning to come: https://doodle.com/poll/fcpedtc3um87ui8b

We hope to have the support of a spouse/partner/friends to get us to Broughton - saves trying to return later for picking up cars. If you are able to offer a lift to other runners - please leave a message in the comment section on doodle or via the facebook post.
To get the ball rolling - Alan's wife has space for two other runners.

Anyone who fancies doing a half-Buchan (starting at Stobo and running back over the JBW), let Alan know and we can try to organise....
