What to expect

OUTrun is a 5 mile race around Kelvingrove Park, with up to 500 runners. 🏁

It’s Glasgow FrontRunners’ largest event and Scotland’s largest LGBTQIA+ race. This will be its 10th year.

The event starts at Kelvingrove Bandstand, where you can drop your bag, get your race bib, and use the toilets. A special guest will lead a fun group warm up, and then it’s a short walk to the start line.

The full course will be shared soon. There’s a hill at the start and the end, but it’s mostly flat.

How to take part

OUTrun entries will open in the spring.

We welcome all FrontRunner clubs and any other running clubs in Scotland to take part.

Once you’ve entered, show up on the day to collect your race bib, and you’ll get a goodie bag after the race.

Volunteering

We’re looking for volunteers to help us make the day a huge success. If you’re interested, please contact Shannon Hall (Events Secretary) at events@glasgowfrontrunners.org

Goodie bags

After the race, you’ll get a goodie bag, which includes this year’s stunning OUTrun t-shirt! 👕✨

We choose different colours of the LGBTQIA+ flag for the t-shirt each year. This year’s colour scheme is teal, representing trans people and their contributions to the LGBTQIA+ rights movement.

Bake sale and donations

There will be a bake sale after, so please bring some goodies along if you can (there will be drinks available too). 🧁

Donations are going to Time for Inclusive Education (TIE), Scotland’s LGBT Inclusive Education charity. They work with schools across the country to embed LGBT themes (such as history, rights, and equalities) into ordinary teaching and learning. This approach became a national expectation for schools in 2021 and helps to tackle the stereotypes, prejudice, and bullying that young people who are LGBT, or have LGBT family members, can often experience.

You can donate at the bake sale in cash or by card, and on our JustGiving page which will be made available soon.

What to wear

We encourage runners to wear their club’s run kit for the race. After the race, you can wear this year’s OUTrun t-shirt which will be in your goodie bag!
