- Date:
- Starting location:
- Glasgow
- Level:

With a city centre start and finish, the AJ Bell Great Scottish Run 10k is a celebration of everything that is great about Glasgow: inspiring urban architecture, green spaces, history, music, strength, spirit and, of course, great people, personality and humour.
Thousands take part in the 10k each year to challenge themselves and to raise money for good causes. And Scotland’s friendliest city always delivers on the support front too, with crowds of locals turning out each year to cheer and high-five from beginning to end.
Plus, there are medals, finisher t-shirts and bragging rights for all!
