SUB ROSA EDINBURGH
SUB ROSA in Edinburgh is an alleycat-style city race taking place on October 9th, organised by SAYSKY in collaboration with Run4It. The meeting point is Run4It on Lothian Road, 108 - 110 Lothian Rd, Edinburgh EH3 9BE. The event includes a specially designed merch tee created with Run4It and a limited number of participant places and shirts.
The race format requires participants to locate an unknown number of checkpoints around the city. Runners receive the first checkpoint shortly before the start and must visit checkpoints in a specified order. There is no fixed course; competitors choose their own routes through the city. The total distance will be between 5 to 10 km, depending on the number of checkpoints and routing choices. All runners wear a SAYSKY scrimmage vest so organisers can identify participants. Each checkpoint visit is confirmed with a mark on a wristband. The event starts and finishes at the same location, referred to as Checkpoint 0.
The format relies on navigation skills and local city knowledge. Checkpoint staff can offer basic guidance if needed. Participants may leave personal belongings at Checkpoint 0 during the event. Prizes include recognition for both the best and the worst navigators. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
