Thousands race in Great Scottish Run through Glasgow
ome of the world's top athletes joined thousands of people taking part in the Great Scottish Run.
About 23,000 club, fun and charity runners took part in the half-marathon and 10k events in Glasgow.
Ethiopian former Olympic and World champion Haile Gebrselassie won the half marathon event with a new course record of 61 minutes and nine seconds.
A number of roads were closed for the races, which started at George Square and finished at Glasgow Green.
Three Scots finished in the first four of the women's half marathon, with Leeds-based Susan Partridge beating Freya Ross to the line. Kenya's Pauline Wanjiku third and Steph Twell fourth.
Following his victory, Gebrselassie said: "After losing out in the last mile at the Bupa Great North Run I had to get clear today and decided to make my move when I did and it worked so well, I'm happy with this win."
Super Saturday
Scottish Finance Minister John Swinney was among those due to run the half marathon course.
World champion swimmer Keri-Anne Payne, Celtic manager Neil Lennon and Emmerdale stars Chris Chittell and Eden Taylor Draper were due to run in the 10k.
The reason i have chose this type of research for my story is because it is related to themes of my story. i have interpreted the meaning of journey in a different style. i have not used the ordinary interpretation of a person going through an emotional journey which leads him to be a better person, but instead i have researched about a marathon run that takes place in Scotland, Glasgow which is supposed to be a fun charity run that not just marathon runners have participated but also celebrities and amateur runners which shows a remarkable journey between the start and finish line.
