BANK OF SCOTLAND GREAT SCOTTISH RUN
Elite start: eventual winner Callum Hawkins had Moses Kipsiro and fellow Brit Chris Thompson for company
IN THE run-up to the race, Callum Hawkins insisted he wasn’t targeting any records at the Bank of Scotland Great Scottish Run. “I am just going to put myself in the mix like I usually do and see what happens,” he said.
What ‘happened’ was a blistering run which caused many a jaw to drop – including that of the man himself.
The Scot had forced the athletics world to sit up and take notice with his impressive ninthplace finish in the Rio Olympic marathon, not to mention the performances in Frankfurt and London which got him there in the first palace.
