We love this route that criss-crosses the River Clyde on some of Glasgow’s most interesting architectural feats. We've mapped a 7.4 km loop, but there are many options for vary the length given there's never more than 1 km between the bridges.
Glasgow's oldest park and a popular running spot. Run along the Clyde River and in the Green, past the People's Palace and Winter Garden. Several other architectural highlights and landmarks, and lovely running paths.
The West End of Glasgow is most noteworthy where the Clyde intersects with the Kelvin, making for a stretch of beautiful waterfront park — especially the Riverside Museum on the Broomielaw, where you can check out the historic tall ships.
This is the route to experience Glasgow’s architectural crown jewels, including the Glasgow Cathedral, George Square, and City Chambers.
These interconnected parks are just south of Glasgow and easily accessible by transport. Enjoy the skyline view from Queen’s Park and the gardens at Pollok Park. Our route outlines both parks but there are great DIY options.
For a waterfront run away from the crowds, track the path along the canal from Spiers Wharf up to Ruchill Park, which locals say is the best panoramic view of the city you’ll find. North of Ruchill Park, there are many more km of paths along the canal.
Create your own run incorporating Kelvingrove Park (one of Glasgow's oldest parks), the pretty grounds and buildings of the University of Glasgow Campus, and the 27-acre Botanical Garden, which is free to enter.
Extensive trail network in this park only 20 minutes north of the city by train. Good options for trail running and hills, passing by remains of castles, World War anti-aircraft trenches, and other sites.
An easy and accessible section of this stunning 100-mile coastal path. Starting near the West Kilbride train station (45 min. from Glasgow) the route follows a forested glen downhill and then the coast north for 10+ miles to Largs. Water views, beach, castles!
