Great Scottish Run 150m short: Eilish McColgan records invalidated

The 10,000m records set by Eilish McColgan in the 2022 Great Scottish Run have been invalidated after the course was found to be 150m short.

Human error led to an area not being laid out in line with agreed plans.

"We have been in touch with Eilish to explain and to apologise," said Paul Foster of the Great Run Company.

"We will be reviewing our internal processes to ensure we cannot make this mistake again.

"There are no excuses for this happening and we're very sorry," added the organisers' chief executive.

The Great Run Company say error had a marginal knock on to the half marathon, but it was within tolerance and the course on the day was valid.

McColgan's fellow Scot Callum Hawkins won the men's half marathon in 1:03:35 ahead of Adam Craig and Callum's brother Derek.

Irish athlete Michelle Finn won the women's half marathon in 1:12:33 and Lewis Hannigan won the men's 10k in 29:33.
