Grand Prix Race - Glasgow University Road Race 16th October

As we kick start the Harriers' Grand Prix for 2021/2022, (a separate post is going up later this evening with a list of the races for the early part of the season) the Glasgow Uni Road Race (5 miles) is another regular event in our GP and is back on this year on 16th October. Although entries might be available on the day (at increased cost), with an entry limit of 250, I doubt there will still be on the day places available. Therefore, entry via EntryCentral (closes on 15th October) is recommended. 

Details from the EntryCentral web site are as follows:

In order to coincide with the 100 year anniversary of the Glasgow University Hares and Hounds, the popular and longstanding 5 mile road race will take place this year on 16th October 2021.

The Glasgow University 5 Mile Road Race takes place on the outskirts of the City of Glasgow. With the start in the Garscube Sports Complex, it then follows a 2 lap course round quiet roads with a good balance of flat running and some hilly sections. Race start time is 11am. A map of the course is available.  

Online entry is available until Friday 15th October. Dependent on demand, there may be opportunity to enter on the day at the Garscube Sports Complex at an increased price of £10. However, entries are not guaranteed and we recommend entering online before the race. 

Registration, number collection and entries on the day will be at Garscube Sports Complex, from 09:30am until 10:40am. There will be toilet facilities at Garscube, but no changing rooms- we ask that you arrive ready to run. 

The prize giving will take place immediately following the race at Garscube Sports Complex. Prizes will be awarded in the following categories: U20 women, Senior women, Masters Women, U20 men, Senior men, Masters men
