Cornalees Hill Race

Just a reminder of the Cornalees hill race on the 26th May.

The race registration is at Greenock Glenpark Harriers Clubhouse at Orangefield Greenock from about 6.15pm. The race starts at woodstock road, which is about a 5 minute jog from the clubhouse. The race is an out and back course, about 5.5 miles and a climb of 900 feet, and is mostly on a stony track, except for a 1/4 mile steep grassy climb at the very start and over grassy moorland for the final 3/4 mile to the summit.

There is a junior race u16/u18 over half the distance, which starts immediately after the senior race.

Changing and showers available: Males in the Glenpark clubhouse, Females in the adjacent Sports centre.

Directions as follows:

Travelling from Glasgow pass Port Glasgow stay on main road, turn left at the Greenock fire station (just before the new Safeways) for 100 metres pass under bridge, take the 1st right, and follow main road for appox 1 mile. At the forked junction at the bottom of the hill, stay left, go up the

cobbled street for 200 metres (passing Haddows, Chemist and Willow Bar on the left then by St Patricks church – a large red brick building), club house is directly across from the Orangefield Chippy and Cafe. If worst comes to the worst ask any locals for directions to the Willow Bar or Orangefield Cafe and you’ll be ok.

Alternatively the Greenock West train station is 2 minutes walk away from the clubhouse with about 3 trains an hour to/from Glasgow Central.

Hope to see you on the night,
