Routes
Both routes start and finish on Glasgow Green, giving runners a unique opportunity to begin their adventure in the heart of Glasgow before heading beyond the city and into the surrounding countryside.
The 55km route takes runners on a journey beyond Glasgow, combining riverside paths, woodland, trails and open countryside. The route explores the landscapes surrounding the city before eventually bringing runners back towards Glasgow and the finish on Glasgow Green.
The 25km route offers a shorter version of the Beyond Glasgow experience, taking runners away from the city and onto scenic trails and countryside before returning to Glasgow Green for the finish.
Both routes will be fully signed and supported, with friendly marshals and feed stations along the way – so all you need to do is focus on the experience.
There will be a staggered start for all runners.
The 55km waves will be at 5-minute intervals from 8am to 8.30am.
The 25km waves will be at 5-minute intervals from 10am to 10.30am.
There will be 3 well-stocked feed stations on the 55km and 1 well-stocked feed station on the 25km.
The exact locations and mile markers will be confirmed closer to the event.
We would expect runners to have the following with them:
Running backpack or vest
Water/fluids
Charged mobile phone with emergency contacts saved (ICE)
Some food/gels
Lightweight jacket
Race Director's contact number saved
There will be a cut-off for the event to ensure the safety of all runners and our event team.
