Coasters GB- Around Britain Baton Challenge

The great video above highlights the first 1000s of the Around Britain Baton Challenge!! It was sent to me by Stu Prince the founder of it all!! On Saturday at 12.30pm 3rd July we pick up Barry the Baton from Gillian from Fraserburgh Jogscotland at Scotstown Beach and then head into Peterhead via the beach. This is a fantastic event to be part off to think that we/you are part of the First Ever Around Britain Baton Challenge!! Please join us for part or all the route, even if you want to just jog with us from the track down the West Road to Lido Carpark then that would be fantastic!! From the Lido Carpark we will then head up to Macdonalds along the byepass up past Score and out to Collieston via Cruden Parish Church crossing the small bridge (usually Newburgh Road)- we then take the coastal minor road to Collieston via Whinnyfold. We hope to pass Barry the Baton to the Metro Running Club at 4.45pm at Collieston Harbour. Times are approximate- however we hope have the baton at Catto Park at 1.00-1.30pm for all the kids who have taken part in the drawing Competition will each be given a go at taking Barry around the track before he goes on his travels again with Peterhead Jogscotland to Collieston. We hope to be at Cruden Parish Church between at 2.30pm-3pm - its approximate 6.5 miles to Collieston arriving at 4.30-4.45 pm. If you want to join us for that last leg, please arrange your own transport!! Simply meet us as Cruden Parish Carpark no later than 3.00pm we wont leave early without you ats a promise, but dont be late as we have to be in Collieston at 4.45pm at the latest!! If decide not run your are welcome to join us it Collieston at 4.45pm for the handover of Barry the Baton, we hope have a beach party and barbecue to celebrate. And some of the leader may go for a dip if the weather is good!! As usual we will be taking plenty of photographs of this event!!
