The AJ Bell Junior & Mini Great Scottish Run brings young runners together for a closed road running event in Glasgow city centre. Designed specifically for children and young people, the event combines a safe course with the atmosphere, entertainment and finish line experience associated with the wider Great Scottish Run weekend.

Junior runners aged 9 to 15 tackle a 2.5K course, while the 1.6K Mini event is for children aged 3 to 8 who run with an accompanying adult. Junior participants are chip timed, while the Mini is untimed and focuses on participation and enjoyment.

The event also includes a Toddler Dash for the youngest participants, alongside different Junior and Mini start waves throughout the day. Young runners receive an event T-shirt and finisher medal, with on course entertainment, supporter encouragement and an event village adding to the experience.
