Further details on the location of each race and facilities can be found on EntryCentral. Information will also be available on the Tour of Clydeside Facebook page.

Entry:

If you want to enter the full Tour of Clydeside you must enter online here via Entrycentral. Each race is also an open event and entry to each individual race is also available on Entrycentral. This means not all runners will be participants in the tour.

Race Number:

Your race number can be collected from about 6.45pm at Castle Semple Park prior to the start of the first race. This number MUST be retained for all races and worn on your top/vest. Please note that this may not correspond to the number allocated by EntryCentral so that you will be identifiable as a Tour entrant.

Apart from the Bella Belter there are no showers or changing facilities available.

Water

This year we are seeking to reduce our environmental footprint and thus ask all runners to BRING YOUR OWN water container. We will have water to collect at the start and finish of the race.

Facilities:

Apart from the Bella Belter 10k there are no showers, toilets or changing facilities available.

Results:

Will be posted on our Facebook site as soon as possible after each race, and copies will be posted at the start area of each subsequent night so that you can track your own accumulated performance and others around you.

Prizes:

There are no prizes for the individual races but a wide range of prizes for the Tour, based on the accumulated positions in each of the 5 races. Presentation of the prizes, available across different age groups will be made on the final evening.
