Why Get Involved?

1. Challenge yourself – Run or Cycle for a cause

Races for All Levels – from young runners to experienced athletes, there’s a challenge for everyone!

From the streets of Glasgow in the AJ Bell Great Scottish Run to the saddle of the Tour de 4 alongside Sir Chris Hoy, our Glasgow events are open to all ages and abilities. Whether you’re lacing up your trainers for the first time or lining up as a seasoned athlete, there’s a challenge with your name on it.

2. Make a real difference to Glasgow patients

Your fundraising supports a dedicated clinical research nurse at the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre, giving blood cancer patients across Scotland access to potentially life-saving clinical trials they might not otherwise reach.

3. Join a community that cares

When you fundraise for Cure Leukaemia in Glasgow, you become part of a growing community of runners, cyclists, and fundraisers brought together by one shared goal: to cure blood cancer.

There’s nothing quite like the buzz of race day in a city renowned for its passion and warmth, wearing your colours, roared on by teammates and the famously vocal Glasgow crowd. But it goes beyond the event itself. Knowing that your efforts are directly funding research that gives real patients across Scotland more time with the people they love makes every training run, every donation request, every mile and every pedal stroke completely worth it.
