It's Fun to Run!

High fives and encouragement? A buzzing atmosphere and a medal and goodies as your finishers reward? The AJ Bell Junior & Mini Great Scottish Run has it all. Starting and finishing at George Square, the popular kids’ events on Saturday give budding running stars of the future a taste of the big event experience, and a finish line feeling that will inspire a lifelong love of being active.

Toddlers (1-3) and minis (3-8) take on a daring 70m or 1.5km dash, while juniors (9-15) tackle a 2.5k supercharged sprint. The Toddler Dash is free to enter, but spaces are limited so secure your entry today.

Calling all kids who love to run: on your marks, get set, go!

Toddler Dash (Up to 3 yrs) and Mini entrants (3-8 yrs) must run with a parent, each child should be entered into the event. Junior entrants do not need to be accompanied by an adult although this can be requested upon entry if required, each child should be entered into the event.

The Family Run was the perfect opportunity for Ellie and her little brother to get involved. And have some fun while they raised money for a good cause.
