Are you struggling to know what to buy for the runner in your life this Christmas? Are you someone who prefers to gift your loved ones 'experiences' rather than more mindless possessions? If you've answered 'yes' to either sentiment then we may be able to help. 

As visitors to runABC Scotland will already be aware, entries have opened for the 2023 Babcock 10K Series, one of the West of Scotland's most popular springtime event series. What you may not know is that this Christmas you can choose to buy a gift voucher for your friend or family member for one race, two races or the entire series! 

That's right, you can choose to gift a voucher for the entire three-race 10K series or for the single events in Helensburgh (Thursday 4 May), Shettleston, Glasgow Green (Sunday 14 May) and Dumbarton (Thursday 25 May). 


The Babcock 10K Series has been on the go for some 35 years now and with that longevity comes the guarantee of a fantastic race experience for anyone taking part. 

The series combines elite competition, involving Olympic athletes like past winners Derek Hawkins, Sonia Samuels and Weynay Ghebresilassie at the front end, with club runners chasing a personal best and recreational runners, many of whom may be tackling the distance for the first time.

It really is the ideal gift for any runner - an achievable distance, fast courses and an overall fantastic race experience guaranteed!
