Keep the date free... see you at Broadwood

It's never too early! Note Sunday 21 September and be on that start line at Broadwood Stadium for the Cumbernauld 10k or, for schoolchildren, the associated 1 and 3k fun runs. More detail and information on how to enter will be posted here in the coming weeks.

The Cumbernauld 10k event has proved popular year on year and attracts a huge and friendly mix of recreational and club runners. From athletes to give-it-a-go joggers, the flattish course is perfect for all. If you haven't tackled this distance before and need a bit of help, have a look at the two training guide links on this page. Or check out the Jogscotland groups to get started - NLLeisure can also help kick start your own 'fitter' or fitness regime.

The 1k and 3k runs are always hotly contested with all youngsters keen to get across that finish line. The 1k is for primary classes 5, 6 and 7; the 3k distance aimed at senior school years 1 to 4.

Additionally, a 'Victory Mile' is available to participants with special needs; the third year of this particularly inspiring element, it is very popular and well supported by local charity interests and fundraisers
