Big race is proving a hit
Hundreds of runners have already signed up for the big race, a first for the town.
Your Advertiser has teamed up with Hamilton Business Improvement District (BID) to bring you the Hamilten 10k run.
We hope that hundreds of you will join us and support this incredible new event that will take in some of the town’s most famous landmarks.
Whether you walk, run or simply come to cheer on those taking part, we would be delighted to see you on September 22.
There will also be plenty of fun for the family while the runners are in action.
The large-scale event for 1500 runners will begin in Castle Street and take in a route that goes past the Low Parks Museum, entering the Palace Grounds, past the Davie Cooper Memorial then through the tunnel towards Strathclyde Park.
Runners will then head north along the waterside before looping back at the far end of the loch and finishing back in Castle Street.
The event is being supported by local businesses, Police Scotland, South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture and South Lanarkshire Council.
There will also be prizes awarded to the winners of each category: 1st, 2nd and 3rd male and female overall; 1st, 2nd and 3rd senior male and female; 1st, 2nd and 3rd vet 40 male and female; and 1st, 2nd, 3rd vet 50 male and female.
The race will begin at 9.30am and there will be a stage area with music to entertain spectators until the runners return.
Entering the Hamilten 10k is very simple.
