Thanks guys  It was Victoria that I thought might be the one to try. That's if we don't have too many for the road on the Friday night!

Dvorak
Pollok by train or bus and a five minute jog in. Hunners o buses go oot by Tollcross as well. Strathclyde park is only ten minutes from Hamilton, although generally thought of as Motherwell.

It's knowing which one to take though Dvorak, though we have till August to suss it out I know my way around the city centre on foot well enough and have always managed to stagger back to our hotel from the SECC when we missed the last train and couldn't be bothered waiting for a taxi, just never had take need to take the bus anywhere. |

Pollok - train from Glasgow Central to Pollokshaws West, then 5-10 min jog to start. Victoria - train from Glasgow Central to Jordanhill, then half a mile to start. Springburn - No. 10 from city centre goes straight past the park, nice course. firstgroup.com |

Dvorak
I've had thoughts about a "Strathclyde parkruns challenge" - buying a railrover ticket and doing them all in a day. To make it harder, using a different station at each parkrun for arrival/departure. Then I remind myself how far I would actually have to cover on foot for that ;-). No doubt some people could manage it, so feel free to run with the idea. (The Greater Glasgow Five might be a more achievable aim.) |

Willing to put my name down for Dvorak's weegie parkruns challenge. Is there a pint at every boozer en route too?

I'd not have a pint in any boozer near Tollcross Park.

I'll wear my Celtic gear SOPM. Should see us free and clear in certain directions from Tollcross.I'd be more nervous in the Drum.
