Hi,
I have just checked the events search for any future races in the Strathclyde area and there is not a single race for any distance at all.
I can only find races for the borders and highlands areas which is difficult for me to reach due to work and other commitments.
Do I have to wait until next years East Kilbride and Glasgow half marathons to come up in July and August before I can test myself in a race?
Or is there races out there?

The lack of races up there bothers me too because I'd love to be able to combine races with visits to the family.

So guys, enjoy your running
By the looks of things there are races out there, it is just the problem of trying to track them down.
I think a lot of people in Glasgow area have the same problem. As the only time you see a high number of people out running is in the lead up to the Great Scottish Run.
Afteewards the streets are deserted.
