Eilish McColgan sets a record in 10,000m in the 2022 Great Scottish Run but later after revealed that the record was invalid.

The organizers reported that after calculating the length of Glasgow's Great Scottish Run of 10k, it was determined that the course was short by 150 meters

Runners were sent an email this morning including apologies from the company, as well as offering a discount of 10 per cent on entry to next year's race. 

It is the second time there has been a discrepancy of the distance of the run, after it came up short by 149.7 meters in 2016. The error saw Callum Hawkins lose the Scottish half-marathon record he set at the event.
