bedlam_g My 1st run of this race, hoped a PB might be on the cards today but the strong headwind on the way out and just after the turn made it a good bit tougher than hoped.  Finished 3rd in a rather annoying 17.00 a couple of seconds behind team-mate Nick.  Again like Buchlyvie settled into a place rather than make a decent race of it, might give it another shot next week.

About this parkrun

Flat and fast, out and back with a loop at the far end. Tarmac all the way, along the shore of a big pond. Plenty parking at start and a cafe.

Flat out and back course next to a Loch in Strathclyde Country Park. Close to M74 with easy parking. few potholes to look out for but good picturesque course with supportive friendly marshalls.

lovely wee run. in a park.

flat and pretty. No wind at all when I was there; not sure what they're all whinging about ;)

Fast and flat out and back. (Not the most original review!) Definite PB potential.

Flat and fast out and back course. Good for PBs - unless the wind is blowing, then it can be a bit of a struggle coming home.

Good fast out and back course can be windy as its open along the side of the loch

Fast flat lollipop shaped out and back beside a loch. Can be difficult if windy.

Fast and flat for PB. Guess I was lucky, no wind, and it's been recently resurfaced and was dry, bright and cool! Perfect. Lovely setting. I parked wrong side, nice 1.8 mile warm up n cool down! Great to watch uni rowers from boat house cafe. :-) G

Don't be deceived by the flat nature of strathy, as it invariably has s sting in the tail in the form of a stiff headwind in the 1k home straight which has ruined many a PB. However great out and back course and a friendly bunch. My first and favourite.

Nice flat course out and back.

All tarmac, wide paths, flat. Not too windy when I was there but it would be pretty exposed if it was
