Edinburgh, Scotland: Call for runners for special light event in Edinburgh

From BBC News: Call for runners for special light event in Edinburgh

The search has been launched for thousands of Scottish runners who will help light up Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh.

Speed of Light is one of four projects commissioned in Scotland to celebrate the 2012 Olympic Games.

Every night for three weeks next August, hundreds of runners in special lightsuits will run across the extinct volcano to create a light display.

The routes the runners will follow will be specially choreographed.

The company behind the project, Glasgow based public arts charity NVA, have now launched their search for participants.

Each runner must have the stamina to complete a 3-5km (2-3mls) hill run.

There is also a £10 registration fee.

In addition to runners, audience members, 800 per night, will be integral to the event.
