every year Glasgow hosts a large number
of major arts, cultural and sporting events.
these range from annual events to one off
world championships and there are many
ways to get involved.
A key part of Glasgow’s regeneration has been the drive to host major events. these events raise the
profile of the city and create an economic impact on local businesses. However, more importantly they offer citizens the chance to experience and get involved with truly world-class events. the city has a full calendar of annual
events including the Bank of scotland Great scottish Run, the World Pipe Band Championships, Celtic
Connections and Aye Write. the city also hosts a number of major one-off events that have included in recent years the UeFA Cup Final 2007, the World Acrobatic Championships 2008 and the Commonwealth table tennis Championships 2009.

there are many ways to get involved. You could be a volunteer at one of the city’s two major running events, the Bank of scotland Great scottish Run or the Ignis Asset Management Women’s 10K. With over 20,000 and 12,000 runners respectively these events need at least 300 volunteers to make a critical contribution to their successful delivery. It is a massively rewarding experience and we can easily find a role that suits your own interests. And of course
you could also sign up to run the race as many retired people already do. Remember the vast majority of these events are not about the finishing time – they can be life changing experiences for those who take part.
You can also get involved as a technical official at one of the city’s sports events, for example the Indoor Athletics or Grand Prix Gymnastics. technical officials have a formal role in the ‘field of play’ activity. the opportunities are endless
and may even lead to getting involved in the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games!
