On the Day

Due to renovation works, the Water Sports Centre is closed until 2027. There will therefore also be less car park spaces than usual. We therefore recommend car sharing or alternative transport, to avoid the car parks becoming overwhelmed.

Please do not park on or beside any of the access roads through the park, as this may block the race route.

Race Numbers
All race numbers will arrive in the post during the weeks leading up to the event. Please ensure your home address is accurate at the time when you enter. It is this address that the race number will be posted to. If you have not received your race number by Wednesday 25th March, please contact us via the contact page on the website.

Event Area
The Event Area is immediately to the west of the Water Sports Centre and directly opposite the Start Line and the footbridge across the River Clyde.

This area will include the Event Desk within the Event Building for any queries (marked red in above plan), space for club tents and portaloos.
 
Start
10am for both 10 Mile & Round the Loch

The Start Line is beside the main footbridge which spans the River Clyde to connect Hamilton Palace Grounds with Strathclyde Park. The start line will be clearly marked and will have Law & District flags on either side.

For your own safety please avoid congregating on the main road itself until just prior to the race.

Safety
We kindly ask that all athletes remember that the Park will be open and shared with the general public. Please be courteous to all other Park users. 

The weather forecast this year is for some rain with gusty winds. It is therefore probable that there will areas of standing water. Our marshals will attempt to clear areas near their marshal position where standing water is particularly problematic but please appreciate that this will not be possible across the entire route.

All 10 Mile runners should be aware that there will be dedicated sections of road which will be traffic coned on the runner's left hand side of the road. These traffic cones shall be between Miles 3.25 and 4.9 and again between Miles 6 and 6.5. All athletes are asked to follow the instructions of course marshals between these sections and remain within these traffic cones for your own safety.

10 Mile should also be aware that, immediately following the split between the 10M and Round the Loch runners (which is approximately the 3.1 mile / 5k mark), the path up the hill towards Spine Road is a little uneven.

Please also note that there are some speed bumps along Spine Road, which is the road that runs to the north / east of the loch. These speed bumps are highly visible due to their yellow and black colour scheme.

Changing Facilities & Toilets
Portaloos will be available within the event area. There are also some toilets in the Water Sports Centre. Unfortunately no changing rooms are available, so we ask that all athletes come prepared to run.

Prizes
Presentation will begin between approximately 12:15pm

Please be aware that this year, only the trophy and medal winners will receive their prizes on the day.
All monetary prizes will be paid via bank transfer. We will be in contact with all monetary prize winners after the event to arrange for payments.
 
Parking
There are four car parks to the North West of the Watersports Centre which will be available. There is also other car parking elsewhere in the Park. Please do not park on any of the park roads, nor on any of the gravel or grass verges, as this may block the race route.
 
Timing
Each race number has a timing strip on the back - Please don't remove the strips...no timing strip, no result
 
In 2026, each athlete will receive a special 62nd Tom Scott Memorial Road Races medal to commemorate the occasion, at the finish line.
