I did it last year and it was horrific. It was run on ice and there were many fallers. I took a wrong turn near the end and didn't run the full distance bit was abot 7 mins down on what I had hoped for

HG - last year was Livingston, I think you are thinking of Bathgate which I also did a few years back. Livingston did have a few trail sections but was otherwise on cycle paths or footpaths around houses and had a few minor road crossings, one of which there was a near miss when the car skidded on ice and a runner couldn't stop.

I also recall a group of faster runners who suddenly caught and passed me who I suspect had taken a wrong turning somewhere also.

On a non icy day it would be an OK route

Oops yeah, soz. Forgot about your ice-skating PB attempt Bazo. That was nasty. When do you break out the cotton wool, by the way? slowdownyoumovetoofast :-) G

Due to delays in getting our Cambuslang Harriers Down by the River 10k and 3k race entries launched, the entries are down on normal levels. This is a club led event (money used for young athlete development) costing 11.50/9.30 for the 10k and 6-7 pounds for the 3k with a pie/sausage roll, drinks included, a bargain! So if you are free on Sunday the 19th May at around 11am and looking for a fast, flat PB course run it would be great to see you.

Good luck getting the numbers Iain.

Good luck too to anyone doing Grangemouth 10K this weekend. Still my PB course from 100 years ago. :-) G

Doing the Etape that day Iain or I'd be in.

Would recommend it to anyone, fast and flat like the man says!

Anyone else running the Livingston Half Marathon on Sunday? Still only down as a 10K on the race calendar.

10K at Cambuslang sounds good.

I’ll be at Livi on Sunday but for the 10k. I only realised after I signed up that it’s Grangemouth this weekend. Never mind. I like new races when I have no idea where the route goes, especially as I work in Livingston 😂
