Comic Izzard continues charity run

Aug 27 2009

Comedian and actor Eddie Izzard is visiting Edinburgh as part of an attempt to run more than 1,000 miles across the UK for charity.

Izzard, who has completed more than 600 miles as part of his Sport Relief challenge Eddie IZ Running, will run to the top of Arthur's Seat overlooking Scotland's capital.

Last month Izzard set off from Trafalgar Square, London, in an attempt to complete a mega-marathon around the UK in support of Sport Relief 2010. Izzard has carried the flag of each country he is running in during the journey. He aims to continue his challenge and return to London.
