Race Info
The Great Scottish Run is a half marathon and 10K held in Glasgow, Scotland, in early October. Both races start on St Vincent Street in the city centre and finish on Glasgow Green. The half marathon crosses the River Clyde, follows Paisley Road West past Bellahouston Park and loops through Pollok Country Park, then returns across the river with a mostly downhill run from about mile 8 to the finish.
