Glasgow parkrun is supported by:

Glasgow City Council

and

Pollok Park Estate Management

 

 

Glasgow parkrun is a free weekly timed 5K around the award winning Pollok Park.

The run is not a race, however it is there as an event that can be used as the individual needs.  Some runners come to try their hand at their first 5K and discover their pace; others come to better their previous performance; but others may use this as part of their training regime and enjoy the social aspect.

The most important thing to remember is the run welcomes runners of all abilities, and all are encouraged to come and complete the course.

The event was established and is organised by volunteers who have an interest in health, fitness and running. Come rain or shine these volunteers turn up every Saturday morning to mark the way round the course and time the runners.  We would like to thank all the volunteers who have given up their time to make this event possible.

Thanks to Glasgow City Council, and Pollok Park Estate management, for allowing parkrun access to the award winning Pollok Country Park. Best Park in Britain, 2007. Europe's Best park, 2008.
