Glasgow FrontRunners - OUTrun 2026

OUTrun returns on Saturday, August 22nd, as the flagship event for Glasgow FrontRunners. This vibrant and inclusive 5-mile race through Kelvingrove Park is designed to celebrate health, wellbeing, and community among LGBTQIA+ adults and their allies.
Registration opens at 8:30 am with a lively warm-up led by local icon Miss Bella Houston, setting an energetic tone before the start of the race. The course winds its way around picturesque Kelvingrove Park, offering runners stunning views and supportive encouragement from marshals stationed throughout.
Upon crossing the finish line, participants will receive their chip time results along with a goodie bag filled with post-race treats like water and bananas. Everyone who registers by August 7th is guaranteed an exclusive OUTrun finisher T-shirt to commemorate this special day.
The race concludes in high spirits at Kelvingrove Park’s Bandstand, where runners can enjoy the sounds of live music while mingling over a charity bake sale. All proceeds from the sale go directly to Time for Inclusive Education (TIE), supporting Scotland's LGBT inclusive education initiatives that aim to reduce prejudice and bullying against young people who identify as LGBTQIA+.
OUTrun welcomes all adults aged 18 years or older, regardless of running experience. Whether you're aiming for a personal best time or simply looking to enjoy the unique atmosphere and camaraderie, every runner is celebrated equally at this event.
Registration fees are £20 per person, with additional opportunities to make charitable donations during sign-up. Online entries must be completed by August 20th, but securing your finisher T-shirt requires an earlier submission deadline of July 7th.
Join us for a day filled with fun, community spirit, and the chance to support a worthy cause. See you at OUTrun!
