About the AJ Bell Great Scottish Run Half Marathon
The AJ Bell Great Scottish Run is one of Scotland's largest road-running events. The half has its own start waves and full 13.1-mile route, making it a distinct guide from the weekend's 10K.
Course
The route starts on St Vincent Street and finishes in Glasgow Green. Early city rollers and a climb through roughly six miles give way to a flatter, generally quicker closing section.
Race-day weather
Early October in Glasgow is often cool enough for racing, with rain and wind the larger uncertainties. Wet roads and exposed city sections can matter more than temperature alone.
