All the Glasgow road closures as Race for Life set to turn city streets into a sea of pink

Glasgow will become a sea of pink later this month as thousands take to the streets for the Glasgow Race for Life.

The event will see 6,000 men, women and children pulling on their running shoes - and pink gear - to raise life-saving funds for Cancer Research UK.

The event on Sunday, May 22 features a 3k, 5k and 10k course for participants, and starts from Glasgow Green, before taking in the likes of the Saltmarket, Buchanan Street, George Square and the Clydeside.

To accommodate the race, a large number of city centre streets will be closed to traffic from 6am to 4pm on the day, while waiting and loading/unloading restrictions will also be in place from 3pm on Saturday, May 21 to 4pm the next day.

A number of bus lanes will also be suspended from 6am to 4pm.
