The Great Sottish Run, 4 October 2026

Join us for an unforgettable experience in Scotland’s friendliest city!

With a city centre start and finish, the AJ Bell Great Scottish Run is a true celebration of Glasgow's unique character. This event showcases inspiring urban architecture, lush green spaces, rich history, and vibrant music. Each year, thousands participate in the half marathon or 10k, challenging themselves and raising funds for worthy causes.

Glasgow's spirit shines through with enthusiastic local support, cheering participants on from start to finish. Runners can enjoy medals, finisher t-shirts, and the ultimate bragging rights.

Open to runners aged 15+ for the 10k and 17+ for the half marathon.

You can run or take part in your self-propelled and assisted wheelchairs, including racing wheelchairs.
