Bank of Scotland Great Scottish Run 2016

Callum Hawkins became the first-ever Scottish man to win the Bank of Scotland Great Scottish Run half marathon on another hugely successful weekend for Scotland’s biggest mass participation running event in 2016.

The 24-year-old Olympian finished second behind Moses Kipsiro in last year’s event but the Scot turned the tables in scintillating style to end his 2016 on a major high with a devastating display on the streets of Glasgow, running the second fastest Great British half marathon in history and smashing the Bank of Scotland Great Scottish Run course record.

Hawkins – who broke his 5k, 10k and ten-mile PBs during the race - clocked 60.24 ahead of Kipsiro in 60.54 and Joel Kimutai in 61.34 as he became the first Scot, and the first Briton since 1993 to win the half marathon on a weekend where more than 30,000 people took part in a range of events around the city.

The 2017 event will take place on Sunday 1 October and will feature a 10k and half-marathon on the same day. The Junior, Family Mile and Toddler Dash events will take place the day before on Saturday 2 October.
