28 & 29 SEPTEMBER 2019 - Great Scottish Run
Welcome from Philip Grant, Chair, Scottish
                                              Executive Committee, Lloyds Banking Group

                                              On behalf of Bank of Scotland, I would like to
                                              thank you for choosing to be a part of this year’s
                                              Bank of Scotland Great Scottish Run.

                                              Year on year, thousands of you choose to add it
                                              in to your calendar, and take on the challenge
                                              of a 10k or half marathon around the streets and
                                              parks of the wonderful City of Glasgow.

As you make your way round the route, you will have the fantastic support of fellow runners
of all levels. From those taking on the challenge for the first time, to seasoned participants
who have come to love the Bank of Scotland Great Scottish Run and return year after year.

I’d also like to give a special mention to the amazing runners who choose to take the
opportunity to help raise millions of pounds for hundreds of worthy causes, including our
own charity partner, Mental Health UK.

2019 will be our 11th year as proud partner of the event, and every year hundreds of Lloyds
Banking Group colleagues choose to take part or volunteer across the weekend. Many
colleagues will run to raise funds for our charity partner, Mental Health UK, a charity close to
them or simply want to be a part of this great Scottish challenge.

As always, I’d like to give a very special thank you to the hundreds of volunteers , our
partners at the Great Run Company and Glasgow Life, for continuing to give us an
outstanding event that provides opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to
participate in an unforgettable weekend of running.

The race weekend offers events for all ages, let’s not forget about the thousands of young
runners who’ll get involved through our Schools Challenge and ‘Super Saturday’ Junior,
Family and toddler events.

If you can make it along to George Square on Saturday 28 September, it’s always a great,
family fun day out.

Good luck and please enjoy your Great Scottish Run experience!

Chair, Scottish Executive Committee, Lloyds Banking Group

If you are running for our charity partner Mental Health UK, look out for their
marquee at the finish line located next to the Bank of Scotland marquee.

Their team will be there to thank all their amazing runners who took part, and
raised valuable funds to support people with mental health issues.

The fundraising from all the Great Scottish Runners will allow Mental Health UK
to continue to connect with people and organisations providing mental health
advice, information, and support to make a difference.

To say thank you, there’s a mini massage on offer within their marquee, where
you can also pick up a little goody bag as well.

Last year, Mental Health UK launched their new information guide on mental
health, helping to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of poor mental
health and reduce the stigma.

Good luck and see you at the finish line!
