AJ Bell Great Scottish Run

The Great Scottish Run takes participants through the heart of Glasgow, featuring both urban architecture and green spaces. The event offers two primary distances:

  • 10 km
  • Half Marathon

The 10 km course starts with an initial incline followed by a 2.5 km descent, while the remaining section is flat. This distance is open to participants aged 15 and over.

The Half Marathon includes approximately six miles of uphill terrain in the middle section, concluding with five miles of flat or downhill paths. Participants for this distance must be at least 17 years old.

Both routes start on St Vincent Street in the city centre and finish at Glasgow Green. Participants receive a finisher’s medal, an optional t-shirt, and a bag with various items. Baggage facilities are provided near the start line and are relocated to the finish area for collection. Timing chips are included in the race numbers, and an official app is available for live tracking and results.

The event includes music and entertainment throughout the course. A business challenge category is also available for those participating as part of a corporate group. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
