THE Scottish long distance runner Callum Hawkins has won the Great Scottish Run for a third time.
Hawkins joined thousands in Glasgow on Sunday morning to take part in the annual half marathon event.
After claiming victory in 2016 and 2022, Hawkins once again crossed the line in first place with a time of 01:03:25.
He came in ahead of Tewelde Menges who took second place while Andrew Heyes followed shortly after to clinch the bronze medal.
In the women’s half marathon fellow Scot Natasha Phillips claimed victory with a time of 01:13:26, with Nynke Mulholland-Stümmer taking second and Brogan Wallace claiming third.
A record 30,000 runners took part in Sunday’s event in Glasgow, which saw participants take part in either 10k and half marathon races.
On Saturday, 1250 junior runners and toddlers took part in shorter races around George Square.
The race dates back to 1979 and raised thousands of pounds for charity every year.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
