Great Scottish Run organisers have apologised to runner elite Eilish McColgan after her European and British records were invalidated after it was found the course was 150 metres short due to "human error".
McColgan had previously finished the race in Glasgow in 30 minutes and 18 seconds on Sunday, October 2. Organisers of the race, The Great Run Company, say the course was "not laid out in line with the previously agreed plans".
The company has been in touch with Ms McColgan directly to explain and apologise, saying there is "no excuse" for the incident and are offering those who took part a 10% discount on entry to the 2023 event. It was the first time the event had returned since 2019.
