This year the race entries for Melβs Union Street Mile has moved. In previous years we welcomed runners to the Music Hall, but this time registration will be inside St Margaret's School for Girls on Albyn Place. π«
Mel the Meerkat went to visit them yesterday so he could show you where to go π
Thank you to the school who will be hosting us on the 31st of August for race day. A perfect spot right next door to where Celebrate Aberdeen will be welcoming their participants who will walk the parade at 11am, straight after the races ππ½ββοΈ
Entries for the races remain open, less than 3 weeks to guarantee your spot. Link in comments below to register π

Olivia recently volunteered in our Aberdeen office as part of her work experience for 6th year. Helping the team plan for events, supporting our marketing and shop campaigns and loads more. π€©
Olivia has just returned from a school trip to Borneo where she travelled with teachers and a group of other students βοΈ We were delighted when she sent us this photo of herself in Lambir Hills National Park, with her GEF t-shirt.
Excellent colour for the teachers to spot her in the jungle π΅ π³
Our t-shirts are available to order from our online shop. π
