Visitors to Glasgow can be a part of an exciting and life-affirming event in September as the city hosts the Great Scottish Run.

This event, which is affiliated with charities including ChildLine and Macmillan Cancer Support, will comprise three separate races which will be held on September 6th and 7th.

The first challenge that people staying in cheap hotels in Glasgow will be able to see is the junior 3km race.
