This year, Scotland shone!<\/p>\n

You participated in record numbers at hundreds of events and in weekly Parkruns throughout the country.<\/p>\n

Our Jog Scotland groups and our amazing club network supported us, providing structure, support, friendships and connections, sustaining us both physically and mentally.<\/p>\n

Our athletes did it on the track at the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow, and in Paris at the Olympics and Para Olympics.<\/p>\n

And you met another challenge \u2013 supporting Athletics Trust Scotland, and enabling others to participate, many for the first time.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Your actions have helped hundreds of people living with a disability, in poverty, or in ethnically diverse communities, to do what most of us take for granted.<\/p>\n

So whether you donated directly, or participated in Scottish Running Week, or came along to one of our Takes of the Track and Trails events, thank you!<\/p>\n

Next year we go bigger again.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to scale up and we\u2019ll be doing this by collaborating with partners like Scottish Athletics, SAMH, and of course, our clubs and Jog Scotland groups.<\/p>\n

Together, we can build on Scotland\u2019s success in running and athletics. We can transform lives.<\/p>\n

Seeing runners come together to help others is a measure of us all. And we can make a huge difference.<\/p>\n

But for now, thank you from all of us at Athletics Trust Scotland for supporting us this year. I\u2019m so proud of our community!<\/p>\n

Graeme Jack, Chair<\/p>\n
