GreatRunThe Great Scottish Run will see thousands flock to Glasgow to take part for the first time in three years.
On Sunday, there will be a 10k and half marathon, after junior and toddler runs were hosted on Saturday.
The event was cancelled two years in a row in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
It attracts both amateurs and athletes, with Commonwealth Games 10,000m champion Eilish McColgan due to take part in the 10k.
In the men’s half marathon, Callum Hawkins will be racing on home soil against his brother Derek and also Adam Craig of Inverclyde.
The routes
Starting in the heart of the city, the routes go past several city landmarks with the half marathon taking in some of Glasgow’s best known parks.
Information points open at 9am on Saturday and 8am on Sunday with waves of starting times depending on runner speed following shortly after.
The 10k start times range from 9.25am to 9.43am and the half marathon from 10.35am to 11.12am.
