About

Celebrate St Andrew’s Day with us in the heart of Glasgow.
This November, we’re taking over Kelvingrove Park for a special St Andrew’s Day Run, bringing together running, families and plenty of Scottish touches to celebrate Scotland’s national day.
Choose from the 5K or 10K, with a Kids Race and Toddler Dash giving even the youngest runners the chance to get involved. Around the course, expect Scottish-themed stops at every kilometre, music and a few surprises as we bring a completely different feel to race day.
And there aren’t many better places to celebrate Scotland than Kelvingrove. Set in the heart of Glasgow’s West End, the route winds through one of the city’s most beautiful parks, with autumn scenery, the River Kelvin and the magnificent Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum surrounding the course.
We want everyone to get involved in the theme. Wear the tartan, bring your flags, get your friends and family together and come ready to celebrate.
Whether you’re racing the 10K, taking on your first 5K, bringing the kids along for their own race or simply coming for the day, everyone is welcome.
Expect chip timing, free race photography, a bespoke St Andrew’s Day finisher medal, post-race goodies and a race day filled with Scottish touches from start to finish.
Let’s celebrate St Andrew’s Day together at Kelvingrove Park.
