Course information
The Glasgow Pretty Muddy course is a flat route around the picturesque Strathclyde Loch. Starting just by the Watersports Centre, the route heads up to the north end of the Loch before heading back down the eastern shores and finishes by the Sandy Beach and children’s playpark. There are a mixture of obstacles along the way including inflatables, climbing, crawling and mud!
Please bring a reusable water bottle with you if you require water during the event, as there will only be water available at the finish.
Remember to bring a towel and change of clothes for the way home!
Please arrive 15 to 20 minutes before your start time so that you are prepared and ready to go on time.

Public Transport
To reduce our impact on the environment, we would encourage the use of public transport where possible. Motherwell Train Station is approx. 25 minutes from the start line. There is a bus stop just outside the south side of the park, on Strathclyde Road. Please plan your journey using www.travelinescotland.com.
Cars
If you are travelling to the event by car, please ensure you use junction 6 of the M74. This is due to internal road closures within the park which mean event parking is only accessible via the south entrance of Strathclyde Country Park. Do not use the north entrance (near M&D's) as these car parks are a 35 minute walk to the start line. Blue badge parking is available next to the start line, follow the direction of stewards on the day.
