Assuming you aren't in the first wave then you won't get to run at your own pace until you are over the Kingston Bridge so you get about 1 1/2 miles to get into it.

Aside from that its a nice course, a bit through Bellahouston and Pollok park and a bit of a slog between miles 10-12. No big hills so if you are doing a long run of 6-7 miles (10K) now then a long run adding a mile or so each week till 2 weeks before the race with either 2 or 3 shorter runs each week should see you through no problems.
