The run took place on Sunday 3 May, with many staff and parents joining the run, as well as Juniors who took part in the afternoon race: the total number of those taking part as 'Team Merchiston' was around 260. So far the amount of money raised so far is in excess of £50,000, and still rising. There will be a presentation of money to Hearts and Balls at assembly on 12th May, to which parents will be invited. For video footage of the event, please click here.
