He was wearing light grey coloured tracksuit trousers and a cream or off-white coloured puffa jacket.
Officers investigating the attack are carrying out enquires in the area and appealing for witnesses.
Detective Sergeant Jamie Campbell said: “We believe the young woman was attacked sometime between 8 and 9pm. Although this is a B road, it can be pretty busy with cars and the area is used a lot by walkers and runners.
"There is also a cycle track close to the location of the incident and I am appealing to people who use the area to think back and consider if they noticed anything on Tuesday night.
"Perhaps you saw something which seemed a little odd at the time which you dismissed. Now that you know a crime has occurred your information could prove vital.
"I would urge anyone with any information to please get in touch with us, no matter how insignificant you think the information may be, let us be the judge and pass it on."
He continued: “Additional officers will be patrolling the area in order to reassure members of the public who I’m sure are shocked by what has occurred.”
Anyone with information is asked to call CID officers at Motherwell Police Station via 101, quoting incident number 4422 of April 23.
