That the Parliament congratulates all who took part in the Great Scottish Run 2019, which attracted more than 29,000 participants across a range of activities, including short events for children, a 10k road race and a half marathon; thanks the sponsors, Bank of Scotland, which was supporting the event for the 11th year; commends Max Malarvie and Gemma Steel on winning the 10k and Timothy Torotich and Edith Chelimo for crossing the finishing line first in the half marathon event; recognises that the event would not have been possible without the planning of the organisers, the police and volunteers who ensured that the event was a safe and enjoyable experience for participants and spectators alike, and looks forward to another successful event in 2020.
