G Gonnae have to find my waterproofs 😂 Possibly going to have to dress up as a policeman or find a full on hazmat / bio suit?! Whereas Glen Clova have emailed us to say race day weather is looking horrendous and to dress appropriately, and to look out for full cancellation emails. Boo. And they've made the cut off for the half mara 2:20, which used to be 3:00, which is pretty tough for some of our club runners who were hoping to just enjoy it. My car has winter tyres. Hoping it's not full on snowing for the drive up or back though. ![]() |

My colleague is signed up for Glen Clova but she's not going to go now because of the change in cut off. I think it's irresponsible for the race to go ahead when there's an amber weather warning in place.

The WoL path will surely be open again by Saturday. Weather will still be grim 🌧️💨

They might still cancel it mrs s. They said Fri 8pm would be their last decision and to look out for emails. The forecast does look pretty dire now! ![]() |

The weather forecast is so grim I am not even going to parkrun. Looks like if I get out early it will just be cold. I did WoL in snow and ice at least one of my three years. Fell once |

They must have heard you mrs s - Glen Clova cancelled. First time in 15 yrs that I've been going there that it's been cancelled for bad weather. I'm sure it's the right decision of course. Still disappointed though. ![]() |

I think there was a planned meet-up at Elgin parkrun this Sat with Metro_Nome and Running Duck. I’m having my loft hatch fixed at 08:00, so won’t be able to be there. Sorry to miss you @Metro_Nome |

Yes that was our plan, but not sure if it will be safe to make the journey, or if Elgin will be on…
