Tour Scotland Video 2016 Santa Run Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of the 2016 Santa 5 five kilometres fun run on visit to Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. The runners then ran through the streets of Perth City Centre along Tay Street and under the old bridge by the River Tay before finishing on the North Inch Park. The Perth Santa Run is part of Perth Winter Festival 2016. Among road running events, the 5K distance is mostly popular with novice or infrequent runners or joggers, as it is comparatively easier to complete the distance without endurance training. This also makes the distance suitable for people looking to improve or maintain their general physical fitness, rather than develop long distance running abilities. The brevity of the distance means that less time is required to take part in the activity and that people from a wide range of ages and abilities may participate. From a physiological perspective, five kilometres is towards the low end of endurance running.
