Great Scottish Run

Great Scottish Runner

With new family, junior and toddler events, this year's Great Scottish Run will be bigger than ever!


Choose from a half marathon or 10K route and experience the urban buzz of Scotland’s largest city with 23,000 other competitors. Both races start at George Square, cross the Kingston Bridge and take you through city streets before finishing in Glasgow Green. The routes have been designed with personal best time potential in mind and are perfect for the experienced runner looking to set that all-important time or the first-timer who is looking for an easy, fast course. Challenge yourself to do something great and race with Team CHILDREN 1ST on Sunday 2 September.

NEW FOR 2012: Get the whole family moving with the Junior 3K, Junior Mile, Family Mile and 50m Toddler Dash. Find out more here.

How will CHILDREN 1ST support me?
Join Team CHILDREN 1ST and we will provide you with a CHILDREN 1ST t-shirt or running vest (for the kids as well), iron-on letters for your name and a tailor-made pace band on request. You'll also receive a booklet of inspiring fundraising ideas as well as materials and support to really get your fundraising moving.
