In Partnership With
Glasgow Churches Together
An ecumenical fellowship of Glasgow's churches committed to dialogue, mutual respect and finding common ground — praying that Glasgow would flourish by the preaching of God's word and the praising of His name.
All In — Glasgow 2026
The national call to action for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games — a Scotland‑wide movement inviting communities, schools, clubs and organisations to celebrate the Games in their own altogether brilliant way. It's our Games, your Games, a'body's Games.
Our Heart
Together for Glasgow
Glasgow is preparing for one of its biggest moments in recent history as the Commonwealth Games 2026 come to the city. As athletes, coaches, families, and visitors gather here, we want them to encounter not only a world-class sporting event, but a world-class welcome.
Run the Race Glasgow brings together churches from across Glasgow through Glasgow Churches Together, united in a shared commitment to serve the city, support the Games, and reflect God's love in practical ways. Our heart is not simply for the event itself, but for the legacy it can leave behind in our communities.
For us, the Games are more than medals and stadiums. They are a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
