THE GRIM RUNNER
NVA’s Creative Director Angus Farquhar has been a runner for 13 years. His own experiences of training for a marathon led him to question why he ran and put his thoughts onto paper for his 2009 book, The Speed of Light.<http://nva.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=65437851dded736b04c964429&id=349c77003f&e=3a071f0c56>
“The feeling of being up and out on your own, with only two or three people passed on the whole hill run, of the previously unknown becoming part of your extending knowledge of your surroundings, is special and makes the world a richer place.”
For the next 10 months, Angus will be writing a log of his journey towards Speed of Light 2012: the highs; the lows; achievements and challenges. You can read ithere<http://nva.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=65437851dded736b04c964429&id=b2a828483f&e=3a071f0c56>

AN EXTRAORDINARY MOMENT IN THE HISTORY OF RUNNING
Plans are now well underway for NVA's Speed of Light 2012. Visit our new website at www.speedoflight2012.org.uk<http://nva.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=65437851dded736b04c964429&id=5b1d325e4a&e=3a071f0c56> to find out all about the event, our inspirations and how you can get involved in this fantastic fusion of sport and culture.
Bringing people together from all over the UK, the programme - taking in eight of the Edinburgh Festivals - will climax with an extraordinary mass-participation event on Arthur's Seat as part of Edinburgh International Festival.
For three weeks next August, Edinburgh's iconic mountain will be brought to life through sporting endeavour and performative visual art. Runners will activate specially designed light suits at night, illuminating the hillside, while the audience ascend to the summit. Tickets will be available from March 2012.
