2009 Ignis Asset Management Women’s 10k, Glasgow
Posted by: Richard in Glasgow, Running, tags: 10k, Glasgow, RunningThis morning I was up early (it’s starting to get a bit of a bad habit; Who’d have thought it a couple of years ago!) to help with the marshalling for the Ignis Asset Management Women’s 10k. Not a huge amount to do other than point a few runners in the right direction, and hold a rope to keep the pulses separate, but a useful job that the organisers keep asking my running club back to help with.
After watching the runners set off – all 12,000 of them – I headed out around the course to cheer on fellow club runners who were taking part, as many of the parkrunners as I could recognise, and take a few snaps. You can see all my pictures here on flickr. I’m glad the rain held off for most of the event – only coming on hard after a couple of hours, but still plenty of women out on the course, it can’t have been pleasant. But a great effort by all concerned.
I gather it may have even been a new course record from the winner (not seen that confirmed yet, just rumour). Plus I gather an age-graded world record holder was out on the course too. Excellent stuff throughout the field, from the first across the line to the last.
Yesterday I also rediscovered my photography passion, and popped along to watch the rain-soaked Dick Wedlock 10k, and invitational 10k for international firefighters.

hi, I always want to know how a runner’s race No. was decided before the race?
is it decided by the self-estimate time, If the self estimate time the same, then decided also by the register date ( the earlier register, the smaller number), but will my previous result in this race will affect my race No.?
Thank you. And I found this year the average speed of all runners was worse than 2008’s, was the route changed or something? it seemed seldom people could increase their finish time by 2 minutes if they have joined in the last few years.
