Cathkin Braes Country Park
Cathkin Braes, a country park in Glasgow City’s South Side, will
serve as the venue for the Mountain Biking competitions. Glasgow’s
first international standard mountain biking course will be
constructed in ideal terrain overlooking the city just 15 minutes
south of the Athletes' Village, from an initial layout developed in
2009.
Owned by Glasgow City Council and South Lanakshire Council, the
course will be a legacy that will not only provide a venue capable
of staging future international events, but also a facility that
will benefit the communities of Glasgow and surrounding areas in a
sport that is rapidly growing in popularity.
Cathkin Braes’ hills, wooded terrain and open spaces with
a spectacular panorama will provide spectators with a
wonderful setting for exciting competition amidst beautiful natural
scenery.
