Law - Motherwell (1962 - 2003)
The route of the race from its inception in 1962 until 1988 (when the factory in which Tom worked closed)
altered little from the one that Tom used on his daily training runs.
The traditonal race route was on the "Open" roads from Law Village to Motherwell. The race started in Lawhill
Road opposite the "Auld School" before making its journey through the streets of Wishaw & Motherwell before finally ending
at the factory gates in Watling St in Motherwell
Due to the relocation of the factory the 1989 event was not held - However the following year saw the race
being revived with the finish being established at the Water Sports Centre in Strathclyde Park.
During the next decade the route remained almost unchanged. In 2004 Strathclyde Police refused to sanction
the running of this race on the "Open" roads & a new race route had to be found if this "Historic" road race was
to continue.
A decision was therefore made to hold the event within Strathclyde Country Park.
The results below are the most uptodate available. Please note times for certain years are missing. Can
anyone please supply the missing times - It would be greatfully appreciated.
