COMMONWEALTH champion Eilish McColgan set a new British record as she finished in first place in the women's 10km leg of the Great Scottish Run.
The 31-year-old crossed the finish line at Glasgow Green in 30 minutes and 18 seconds - shaving one second off her previous record.
The run time also sets a new European record for a 10km (six mile) road race.
Lesley Bell took silver, clocking in at 36 minutes and 33 seconds, while Ruth Joss took third place with a time of 37 minutes and one second.
It was the first time McColgan has raced outdoors since taking part in the 2014 Commonwealth Games, which was also held in Glasgow.
The race was the Scot's final run of the season and caps an incredible year for the triple Olympian.
McColgan won four medals across the Commonwealth Games and European Championships, and has also set British records over 5km, 10km and the half-marathon.
The event, which attracted some 20,000 runners including many raising money for charity, was the first Great Scottish Run to take place in three years.
Previous races in 2020 and 2021 were cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Fellow Scot Callum Hawkins took first place in the men's half marathon with a run time of one hour, three minutes and 35 seconds.
The 13-mile (21km) route from George Square to Glasgow Green took runners through Bellahouston Park and Pollock Country Park in the southside of the city.
Irish athlete Michelle Finn won the women's half marathon in one hour, 12 minutes and 33 seconds, while Scots runner Lewis Hannigan took the men's 10km title in 29 minutes and 33 seconds.
Paul Foster, chief executive of the Great Run Company said: “We’re so happy to be back in Glasgow after three years of cancellations due to the pandemic.
“It was incredible to see 20,000 runners of all ages and abilities on the city’s streets this weekend. Some were running for charity, some for the challenge."
Meanwhile, 23-year-old Ethiopian athlete, Yalemzerf Yehualaw, became the youngest ever female winner of the London marathon.
The victory came despite a tumble over a sleeping policeman six miles into the route, leaving her trailing the pack. In the end, she crossed the finish line in two hours, 17 minutes and 26 seconds - the third fastest time on record for the women's race.
The men’s title was scooped by Kenyan, Amos Kipruto.
