Route Zero - Glasgow (March 2026)

Route Zero is an urban navigation race where route choice matters as much as fitness.

Runners assemble at a central meeting location before being transported to an external start point outside the city. The start location is not disclosed in advance. GPS navigation is restricted for the duration of the race, and there is no predefined course.

Once the race begins, athletes must independently choose their route back to the finish. Runners may choose to navigate alone or work alongside others, but all decisions are their own. Streets, paths, and judgement shape the race, and no two routes are the same.

Route Zero is not about pacing or splits. It’s about navigation, decision-making, and committing to your choices under pressure. Live tracking allows spectators to follow the different routes as the race unfolds.

First runner back to the finish wins.
