28th January 2022 – 3k on the Green return
I plan to resume 3k on the Green, live, at Glasgow Green on Friday 28th January, 12.30pm. Format will be as before but I may be looking for a few volunteers to help at the event registration and timekeeping. Anyway, a date for the diary for now.
Virtual 3k – Feb 2021

July Summary

Welcome!
3k on the Green has been on the go for several years. I took on its organisation in September 2011. By April 2012, when this site launched over 100 people have taken part in at least one race. It’s a good opportunity for a short, sharp testing run ahead of the weekend. I suspect most […]
