Monday 24th May 2010 STAG Summer Series 1 Tollcross Park

Summer Series of Events kicks off again @ Tollcross Park with a relatively simple Cross-Country Course of 4.6k 100m climb but with a wee twist ....

Ah the twist ,16 controls with the first starter going forwards ie 1 > 16 ; the second backwards - no Alastair you don’t have to run backwards just visit the controls 16 > 1.

Happy news from event on Monday 17th is that Tobi’s eyesight isn’t wonderful & Unit 57 was still secured to the fence but the red & white tape had been removed.

Thanks to Bernie, Claire, Simon & Tobi for bringing in controls after the event.

Map of Tollcross Park MapTerrain description

Tollcross Park was the first Glasgow Park mapped by STAG back in 1982 and played a vital part in the early development of the Club.

Previous attempts to establish a permanent course in 1986 and 1988 were unsuccessful but with the regeneration of the Park underway we are confident the 16 control course will be well used throughout the year.

Course checked February 2008. Posts 4 & 16 painted tops evaporated due to damp location.

Park History:

Acquired in 1896 covering 96 acres with extensive rose and floral displays.
Children’s Zoo and Play Area.
Swimming Pool and leisure complex.
Heritage Lottery Project helped restore the Winter Gardens re-opened November 2000.
