We’re really sorry to confirm that this year's Junior & Mini Great Scottish Run, scheduled to take place on Saturday 4 October, has been cancelled due to the forecasted high winds and rain. Sunday’s 10K and Half Marathon events will continue as scheduled with the weather set to improve on Sunday.
The forecasted winds and gusts compromise our event infrastructure including our medical facilities. This, combined with the risk from potential debris mean that we can’t guarantee the safe delivery of the Saturday Junior & Mini event. Safety of our participants, staff and volunteers is our number one priority.
We haven’t taken this decision lightly and have been liaising closely with the Met Office, medical & safety teams, local authorities and key stakeholders throughout the week to make the best-informed decision.
We have communicated the event cancellation to all participants, with details about how they can roll their entry over into next year’s event or claim a refund. We’re also going to send the event medal to all Junior, Mini and Toddler Dash participants so that they can complete their own runs and wear the medals with pride.
We know how disappointing this news is, and we hope everyone can understand why this decision has been made.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
