The event was raising funds for Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity, which supports the city's children's hospital.
Many children and families who took part have first-hand experience of the hospital, and have raised thousands of pounds to help the charity.
Kirsten Watson, CEO, Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity said: “It was a joy to welcome so many people and teddies to Kami Bear's Teddy Trail today. Our hospital community is a very special one, and we cherish opportunities like this when we can come together to show our support for the children cared for at the hospital. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us today for their generosity and fantastic fundraising.”
The 5k and 10k routes took walkers past some of the city's iconic sights, including the Riverside Museum and Kelvingrove Park, where pit-stops featuring the Glasgow Warriors and Caledonia Gladiators entertained participants.
Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity relies on donations to fund its life-changing work. Find out more and donate at www.glasgowchildrenshospitalcharity.org
