Scottish Cycling, Running and Outdoor Pursuits Show returns to Glasgow

The Scottish Cycling, Running and Outdoor Pursuits Show has returned after a year’s hiatus thanks to the dreaded ‘Beast from the East’ in 2018.

The event – which took place on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd March at the SEC Glasgow – attracted over 10,170 of Scotland’s most discerning sports enthusiasts plus some of the biggest and best brands in sport.

With over 20 fun and interactive challenges to suit all abilities, plus opportunities to shop the latest kit, clothing and equipment, this year’s event has been deemed a massive success by show organisers PSP Media Group.

Event organiser Julia Girvan comments: “We were just as disappointed with last year’s unfortunate cancellation as our customers, but we’ve spent the last 12 months making sure that our 2019 show came back bigger and better than ever before. This year’s show has been a massive success, with record numbers of guests enjoying everything that we had to offer, and we’re already looking forward to the 2020 show!”

Brand new for 2019, this year’s show boasted a ‘Gladiator’-style Travelator, an enormous 60m indoor zip line plus the chance to win trips to both the Berlin Marathon and the Grand Depart Classic. A climbing wall, running and cycling tracks plus indoor Triathlon challenges kept show visitors entertained, whilst those in the market for a new bike, clothing, accessories and more could grab fantastic deals from over 100 exhibitors.

Visitors to the show were also joined by some of the UK’s top athletes, including Team Sky’s Philip Deignan, British Eurosport commentator Brian Smith, Olympians Jenny Meadows, Lee McConnell, Eilish McColgan, Greme Obree and Commonwealth Games medallist Marc Austin.

Top brands like Cannondale, Ribble, Hoka, On Running, Gore and Kinesis were also in attendance, so visitors could get advice and inspiration from the true professionals.
