Guided Trail Run: Southside 17K

About Guided Trail Run: Southside 17K

Social pace trail runs for runners who are building their confidence off road, want to explore new trails, and meet other runners.

The Magnificent 11 route links three local nature reserves, two city parks, two farms and a Site of Special Scientific Interest. We'll start at Linn Park, and visit King's Park, Cathkin Braes and Cathkin Marsh Wildlife Reserve.

We'll run at a steady pace (approx 10 minutes per mile or 6 minutes per km) but no one will get left behind, and we'll have breaks to re-group and refuel.

This guided run is for those who are new to trail running or running off road but can already run 10km at a relaxed pace on roads. Check out other guided runs on offer: https://skylarkguiding.co.uk/trail-running-glasgow/

Key information:
Start/finish: Clarkston Road entrance to Linn Park (see map)- Pick up from nearby train station can be arranged; please specify when booking.
Distance: 17 km (ish)
Terrain: paved surfaces and tracks, some muddy and slippery sections after rain.
How much elevation: this run involves some uphill sections which can be walked.
What to bring:

Trail running shoes - essential as the trails get slippery and the extra grip is important to prevent slips and falls
Hat/buff, gloves – recommended in colder weather
Waterproof jacket – recommended
Water and snacks

The run will be led by experienced and qualified guide Gaby Macbeth of Skylark Guiding Ltd who will look after route finding and keeping everyone safe.
