Very well organised and enjoyable race. I ran the 10k and the only negative I have is the congestion at the start as 10k and 5k start together. Maybe an idea going forward was to start the 5k slightly after the 10k this would ease the number of people trying to get round the first few corners.
Although the course map looks confusing, it was actually very easy to follow the route.
The path quality throughout was very good despite the below-freezing temperatures on race day.
Only suggestion - bring a permanent marking pen to write details on the back of the race numbers, as ordinary pens did not seem to mark
Overall genuinely happy for the race. Few negatives which prevented it from a five star
1 - I am not a great fan of dogs and I did see at least one person running with their dog.
2 - Granted it is a public path but having the general public cutting through and over the race track was not ideal.
All volunteers were very friendly and provided plenty encouragement so will be back for another race.
I ran the 10K Up And Running race at Glasgow Green on 4th May red bib number 1554 and enjoyed my run very much, this was my 58th 10K, but the first with the Up and running organiser, I have NO complaints whatsoever, the marshalls were very friendly and helpful, the medal is great, next time I LL run the 5K version.
