We are The Kettlebell Swingers, Charlotte, Gillian, Giulia, and Dave, four people who exercise together at Edinburgh Leisure in Craiglockhart.

On Sunday May 24, we'll be running the Edinburgh Marathon Hairy Haggis Team Relay, each taking a turn so that we complete the full marathon between the four of us.

We're doing this because we love running and also to raise money for Edinburgh Leisure's Active Communities Programme, which each year supports over 14,700 people affected by health conditions, disabilities, poverty and inequality to improve their health and wellbeing. Thank you so much for helping us to help them!

Edinburgh Leisure is dedicated to helping people lead more active, healthy lives. With 53 sport, leisure, and school venues, we are committed to creating opportunities for everyone to get active and stay active. The Active Communities Programme harnesses the power of physical activity and sport to tackle inequalities and combat the effects of inactivity. Each year, around 10,000 individuals facing the greatest barriers to being active are supported, including those affected by health conditions, disabilities, inequalities, and poverty.
