Over 70 roads in the city centre are set to close today as Glasgow hosts a huge running event.
The AJ Bell Great Scottish Run returns today, October 5, with more than 30,000 participants expected to travel from across the UK.
This year’s programme includes a 10K, a half-marathon, and a family day, as well as the AJ Bell Junior and Mini Great Scottish Run on October 4.
Starting and finishing in the city centre, runners will follow a route through Glasgow’s historic streets.

The route will pass several iconic landmarks, including the Gallery of Modern Art, Kingston Bridge, the Clyde Tunnel, Pollok Park, George Square, and Glasgow Green.
The family day, known as "Super Saturday", is popular for its lively programme of activities and the ever-competitive mascot race.
Due to the size of the races, 74 roads in Glasgow are going to be affected by restrictions.
The restrictions are enforced to ensure the safety of those taking part as well as road users.
