A regular fixture in the annual calendar, Pencaitland Primary School’s PTA and the local Playgroup are holding a 10K & 5K fun run on Saturday 26th April.

The warm up begins... a small section of the crowd that developed into a flash mob of Zumba fans during the 2013 Fun Run — The warm up begins… a small section of the crowd that developed into a flash mob of Zumba fans during the 2013 Fun Run. Click for entry forms and map.

All are welcome to take part with something for everyone. For the more committed runners there is the 10 kilometre circuit. There are also options of both 5K and 3.5K along with a family oriented 10K cycle. The Pencaitland Fun Run offers a unique opportunity to run off-road through some of East Lothian’s most beautiful countryside and Winton House estate.

All proceeds go to two of the village’s locally registered charities — Pencaitland Primary School Parent and Teachers Association and Pencaitland Playgroup.

How to enter

Entries can be made online right now for both the 10K and 5K routes through www.entrycentral.com. Entries for the Junior 5k, family 3.5K and 10K cycle route can be made to Pencaitland Primary school office in paper format. Even if you’re a late starter, the organisers will be accepting entries right up to the day of the race.

On the day all participants will need to register which starts from 1pm in the school Hall. There will also be a warm up Zumba session from 1.45pm on the day with the first of the races heading off from 2pm.

Locals, including sixteen and seventeen year olds are being encouraged to register to take part in the independence referendum next year.

Lothian residents will soon receive annual electoral registration forms through the post and are being encouraged to complete and return them so they can have their say at next year’s poll.

In 2014 Electors will also be able to cast their vote at the European election in May as well as the independence referendum in September.

Anyone who is aged 16 or over on 18 September 2014 will be able to vote in the referendum, so every house is also being sent a ‘young voters’ form to register their details.

People completing the registration forms are being urged to make sure the details of any 16 or 17 year olds are included.

Electoral Registration Officer Joan Hewton explains: “People are talking about the referendum with family and friends, but the only way to have your say is to vote on 18 September 2014, so make sure you’re registered to vote. Registering is quick and simple. All you have to do is update and return the registration forms with details of everyone who lives in your household and is eligible to vote; and remember to include anyone who will turn 16 by 18th September 2014. It’s straightforward, any young person who is 15 and will be 16 by the 18th September 2014 should add their details to the young person’s form and anyone 16 or over should add their details to the main household canvass form.”

For more information or if you don’t receive a form shortly contact the electoral registration office on 0131 344 2500.
