Looked a good event last year - might have a crack at it if I am fit enough. Except I suspect it may sell out before I've decided on that.
Pollok parkrun - is there something up with that? I've noticed that numbers are quite a bit down. Queens has started up, of course: but they seemed down even before that. Victoria had nearly 200 more than them last week (which must be verging on hellish). Still, I might make a return to the Scottish mothership - it had become just too busy for me.

Hmm, well ireckon that if e specific place is mentioned the Big Hoose is where the posh folk there stayed. Without a specific context, the Big Hoose is the Bar-L. If you are a Weegie
Though on the subject of Pollok, might even go tomorrow* as initial visit to Queen's postponed yet again (mate wants to go, but is working o/t to buy a new clutch). What's everyone else running this weekend?
*Unless lousy weather, which looks fairly likely.

I don't know if it's just Queen's that's affected Pollok, Dvorak. If you look at the Glasgow and surrounding area there are probably 10-12 Parkruns now within about 30-45 minutes. (Plus a few just down the coast).
Drumpellier is a lovely run (and flat) and you've now got Levengrove in Dumbarton as well. You've also got the ongoing work issues at Pollok which might just be putting some folk off. Not necessarily a bad thing as it was getting, on the few recent occasions that I've been, quite congested at the start all the way up to the main tarmac section.
As for Victoria, last time I was there they had about 400 and that was busy. Not sure how they coped with an extra 150 recently. I like that course too, but I can see how it might get frustrating for those at the front, and probably some of the slower runners too.
