Cars
Due to the event taking place on roads, there are a large number of road closures in and around the city centre from 6am onwards, please allow plenty extra time for your journey or use public transport where you can. There is no official car park for this event. Participants are requested to use city centre parking. The St Enoch Centre, Q-park Jamaica Street, NCP Glasgow King St and NCP Glasgow the Greenhouse car parks will have their access maintained throughout the event - please follow diversion signage and the direction of stewards where neccessary. Blue badge cars can park on Charlotte Street, speak to a steward on the day for access.
This event is accessible to wheelchair users and pushchairs, as it is relatively flat throughout. The route is subject to change due to road works, and this page will be updated to reflect any changes. The entire route is contained on paths and roads with the only grass being the event site, which can be avoided, if neccessary.

Bring a water bottle
We’re trying to reduce single-use plastic at Race for Life. Please bring your own reusable water bottle, already filled. We'll provide an ecofriendly water-refill station at the finish that uses as little single-use plastic as possible.
Have the right kit
It’s a good idea to check the weather before your event and dress accordingly. Think breathable sports gear (leggings and shorts are ideal) and well-fitting trainers. For Pretty Muddy, wear something you don’t mind getting dirty.

Be sun smart
Stay sun safe by finding shade when you’re not on the course and covering up with clothes, a hat and sunglasses. On parts you can’t cover, use sunscreen with at least SPF15 and a 4 or 5 star rating. Find out more about being sun smart.
Your back sign and race number
Remember to bring your back sign and Race number which will be sent to you in the post – don’t forget safety pins so you can attach them to you.
