The Great Scottish Run

The Bank of Scotland Great Scottish Run welcomes thousands of runners to Glasgow every year.

The course starts in the centre of the city, in George Square, and from there takes runners past a selection of Glasgow’s finest venues and buildings.

The AJ Bell Great Scottish Run is back on Sunday 5 October 2025. Sign up now and support the patients and families in our care!

With a city centre start and finish, the AJ Bell Great Scottish Run 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 half marathon or 10k running event 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!

By running for #TeamACCORD  you'll be helping the Hospice continue to provide essential care to people living with a terminal illness, and vital emotional support to their loved ones. As part of our team, you'll receive fantastic support from the moment you sign up all the way until you cross that finish line. 

Whether you're an experienced runner or if this is first race, we'd love you to join our team!
