The AJ Bell Great Scottish Run is Scotland’s most iconic half marathon!

Heart Scotland listeners have taken on the challenge of running 13.1 miles through the streets of Glasgow for Global’s Make Some Noise to become a Heart Half Marathon Hero!

They’ll be joining Heart Scotland Breakfast Show host Des Clarke on an incredible training journey, building up to race day together before taking on the country’s biggest running event in their Heart-branded running vests, with Adele & Grado sending them off at the start line!

The money raised for Heart’s official charity, Make Some Noise, will help fund life-changing projects run by small charities across Scotland. These projects provide vital support to local communities, helping people through some of life’s biggest challenges.

We’ll be following our Heart Half Marathon Heroes as they train, take on the challenge and get ready for race day - and we can’t wait to cheer them on every step of the way!

“This is going to be tough, there’s no doubt about that, but it’s also going to be something really special. I’d love Heart Scotland listeners to sign up and join me, because Heart’s Half Marathon Heroes is all about ordinary people coming together to do something extraordinary. If you’re up for a challenge and want to help make a real difference, get involved. Let’s do this together and raise as much money as we can for Global’s Make Some Noise.” 

- Des Clarke
