The jogscotland 5k challenge series is back for 2012 – and this year jogscotland is proud to be working in partnership with the UK’s largest healthcare charity, Nuffield Health. Making the decision to commit to a more active lifestyle is an important step towards getting healthy, and staying healthy and that’s where the Nuffield Health jogscotland 5k Challenges come in.
The last venue of the series this year will take place on the evening of Wednesday 27th June at The Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh and it’s the perfect opportunity to stretch your legs and wind down after work with your colleagues. This year there will be live entertainment with:
The American Drifters:
The Drifters represent more than the story of a single group’s success. Changes in personnel and management have led to a multitude of permutations of the Drifters since they formed back in 1953. The American Drifters are committed to the keeping alive the legacy and the hits of the legendary Drifters who are an institution not just a group. During the past 35 years they have performed with the best in the business including past Drifters members Ben E King, Billy Lewis, Johnny Moore and Tony Jackson. The American Drifters have performed at some amazing venues including the London Palladium, NEC, SECC and toured with Lulu, Edwin Star, Suzie Quattro, Tony Christie and many more
