More than 22,500 people took to the streets of Glasgow over the weekend for the country's largest running event.

The Great Scottish Run, which saw numbers top 20,000 for the third year in a row, comprised of the half marathon and 10k senior races, as well as the 1.5k and 3k junior races.

A total of 22,542 runners signed up, making it Scotland's biggest mass participation sporting event.

The 10k race kicked off at 9.30am, and was started by double Olympic gold medallist Daley Thompson. The half marathon event followed at 11am.

Among those who pulled on their trainers for this year's races were TV star Nell McAndrew, Miss Scotland Jennifer Reoch and Olympian Jason Gardener MBE.

They joined a mixture of elite athletes from across the world and thousands of first-time fun runners.

It is estimated that around £1.5m will have been raised for charity over the weekend.

Councillor George Redmond, chair of Glasgow Life, said: "Once again the Bank of Scotland Great Scottish Run has brought Glasgow to life in its very own special way.

"Year on year it continues to generate a real buzz around the city and this year was no different as thousands of people of all ages and abilities rose to the challenge."
