Route information
Fast, flat and right in the heart of Glasgow.
The course follows a flat and fast 5K loop around Glasgow Green, using the wide paths and open spaces of one of the city’s most popular running locations. With very little elevation throughout, it’s a great course for finding your rhythm, chasing an early-season PB or taking on your first race.
The 5K completes one lap, the 10K completes two laps, while Half Marathon runners complete four laps with an additional section on each lap to make up the full 21.1km distance.
The course will be fully marked with kilometre markers, directional arrows and friendly marshals throughout. Runners completing multiple laps will be responsible for keeping track of their own lap count.
