Route details
There will be many places to park along the length of this. It is an 8 mile section of the canal that spans the central belt, this part covering the Glasgow City Council region. It is 8.4 miles from one end to the other so remember you will do an out-and-back. Also, keep in mind it extends much further at either end, particularly east, so you can make it much longer.
It is great for recovery runs, tempo runs, and road session.
