The Glasgow University Des Gilmore 5 Mile Road Race is a long established fixture on the city's running calendar, first held in 1963 and organised by Glasgow University Hares & Hounds. The race starts and finishes at Garscube Sports Complex on the outskirts of Glasgow.
Runners tackle a UKA certified 5 mile road course over two laps of quiet roads, with a mixture of flatter running and some hilly sections. The event is licensed by Scottish Athletics under UK Athletics rules, with results published on Power of 10 and runBritain.
The race honours Des Gilmore, a longstanding member and former president of Glasgow University Hares & Hounds who contributed to the event for many years. Registration and number collection take place at Garscube Sports Complex before the race, with prize giving held there afterwards.
