“2026 is a crucial year for Athletics Trust Scotland, the wider running and athletics communities, and the nation as a whole as we get set to welcome back the Commonwealth Games to Glasgow, 12 years on from the highly successful 2014 edition.
An event as grand as the Commonwealth Games is a fantastic way to inspire people from all walks of life to be active and see the value in the community that sport can bring. To ensure there can be a lasting social impact, we’re committing to making athletics and running more accessible and enjoyable for communities who often face barriers to being active.
We have lots of exciting plans this year, including the return of Scottish Running Week and a series of star-studded panel events, and we ask you all to join us. Together we can transform more lives across Scotland through the power of athletics and running.”
