BOOK YOUR APARTMENT ONLINE

Do you know someone who is 8 to 14-years-old with energy to spare? Get them to work off some of that youthful exuberance by participating in a Run-Bike-Run event around Edinburgh’s Holyrood Park. In previous years, contenders ran for 600 metres, cycled for 2 miles and ran another 600 metres. Free for on-the-day entries and spectators.

Kids will receive a goodie bag and can enter for free on the day. All they need is lots of enthusiasm and a bike helmet. Parents with hangovers do not need to take part in the adult’s version, the Hogmanay Bicycle Triathlon...

For Hogmanay 2009 are you planning an Edinburgh family holiday – visiting your folks, seeing your grown-up kids or just escaping the lot of them? Book your private Edinburgh serviced apartment for a short term to any length stay. Or if it’s business hotel-style accommodation you need with unique services added on to make being away from home at New Year much more relaxing – that’s easy too!

Hogmanay 2009 Edinburgh events give you lots of motivation to get to know the capital just a bit better. Holyrood Park is also known as Queen’s Park, as it is actually owned by the monarch, and Queen’s Drive is the road encircling the park.

Warning: multi-event sports can prove addictive!
