PUPILS and staff at Knox Academy are being urged to dig out their running shoes for a good cause.

S6 pupils and members of staff at the secondary school can sign up for either the 10k or half marathon at the Edinburgh Marathon Festival in May.

The school is looking to raise funds for Teenage Cancer Trust at the event, which starts in the Capital, with the half marathon finishing at Pinkie St Peter’s Primary School in Musselburgh.

Any member of staff, pupil or parent looking to take part in the event can email lborwick@knox.elcschool.org.uk
