About the event

Flat, fast running in one of Glasgow’s most unique locations. Join us at Cuningar Loop, just outside Rutherglen in South Lanarkshire, for a day of running on a unique stretch of land surrounded by the River Clyde. Set on a peninsula formed by a sweeping bend in the river, Cuningar Loop offers a running experience unlike anywhere else on our calendar. With wide, smooth paths, open green spaces and the River Clyde wrapping around the park, it’s a fantastic location for runners looking for a fast course in a completely different setting. The park’s flat terrain makes it an ideal place to settle into a rhythm, chase a personal best or take on your first running event. With very little elevation and plenty of flowing sections, this is a course where you can really focus on your running. Despite being just a short distance from Glasgow city centre, Cuningar Loop feels surprisingly removed from the surrounding city. Its combination of riverside scenery, woodland and open parkland creates a brilliant setting for a morning of running. Whether you’re racing for a time, building towards a bigger goal or simply getting out for a run with friends, everyone is welcome. Expect chip timing, friendly marshals, free race photography, a bespoke finisher medal, post-race goodies and the welcoming atmosphere you can expect from an Up and Running Events race day. Fast running. Riverside views. A completely unique course. Join us at Cuningar Loop.

Scenic view of

Rutherglen is a town in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, immediately south-east of Glasgow, three miles from the city. The town is directly south of the River Clyde. Having previously existed as a separate Lanarkshire burgh, in 1975 Rutherglen lost its own local council and administratively became a component of the City of Glasgow District within the Strathclyde region. In 1996 the towns were reallocated to the South Lanarkshire council area.
