Cumbernauld 10k

Sunday 15 September saw two Harriers line up at Broadwood Stadium for the start of the Cumbernauld 10k.  A dry and cool morning made for good running conditions although both David an I would admit we did not feel at our best pre-race for various reasons.

The first 6k or so in this race is run on closed roads.  The route is relatively flat from the stadium along the road towards the Irn Bru factory at about 2-3k.  At this point there is a slight decline before a similar incline up to a roundabout.  After about 6-7k you head towards Broadwood Loch.  The last kilometre brings you back out onto the road to run the same kilometre but in reverse as to the first kilometre back to the stadium, making for a fast finish.

Finishing times (chip) - Julie B - 39.26 (3rd female)
                                      David W - 44.20

If you are looking for a fast 10k then give this race consideration for 2020.  Watch out at the beginning of the year because often this race offers early bird prices. A good size field (1105 finishers this year) and it has great PB potential.
