AN investigation has found that the 10k course at this year’s Great Scottish Run was 150 metres short - invalidating two records set by Scottish runner Eilish McColgan.
The findings came after organisers of the Glasgow event were made aware of a discrepancy with the 10k course.
Paul Foster, chief executive of The Great Run Company, confirmed via a statement that the shortfall in distance “was wholly due to human error”, with an area of the course not laid out in line with previously agreed plans.
