Terrain description
A wonderfully mixed area of housing estate, parkland, semi-wild open, and dense woodland. An excellent area for training and shorter races - you’ll have to keep your wits about you to run well here. Based around the Linwood Sports Hub, sponsored by Linwood Community Sports Hub, a Sportscotland/Renfrewshire Council initiative.
