Annual 6k is more than just a race

The pre-race entertainment at Strathclyde Park was provided by Capital Scotland’s Des Clarke, DJ David Cluckie, cheerleaders from St John Ogilvie High School and the Pamela Logan School of Dance.

John Brady, head of fundraising, said: “Thank you to each and every one of the pupils, teachers and staff for an amazing show of support.

“The young people and staff are a credit to themselves, their families and their schools. The success of this event would not have been possible without the support of event sponsor IHE Stainless Ltd, Strathclyde Park, our volunteers and the many others who gave their time on the day. We would like to thank all the schools who attended and hope they had a fantastic time.

“Our fundraising team has to raise £88,000 every week to deliver care services to patients and their families from North and South Lanarkshire and we couldn’t continue to do this without the terrific support of our school communities who continue to attend our events and give generously to St Andrew’s Hospice.”
