Competitors in the 2013 Edinburgh Men’s Health Survival of the Fittest event watched their footing as they hit the hay on the Royal Mile yesterday.
The running-based event saw participants tackle a 10km route through the city interspersed with obstacle zones including speed bumps, a recreation of a building site, an army assault course, parkour zones, a wall anointed with baby oil and a water slide in Holyrood Park.
