Easter Egg Run takes place in Glasgow today - here's where to watch it

Hundreds of bikers in their Easter finery will take to the streets of Scotland's biggest city today for a very worthy cause.

They will roar into action for the 40th annual Easter Egg Run in aid of Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity.

Led by Glasgow’s Lord Provost Eva Bolander and East Ayrshire’s Provost Jim Todd, bikers will rev over the decorated start line in the Merchant City before making their way to the hospital to deliver an Easter to remember for young patients.

Glasgow enjoys warmest day of year so far as Easter weekend weather breaks records 

If you want to be there to see the extravaganza kick off at 11am, head to Greendyke Street in the Saltmarket.

The convoy of motorbikes, trikes and scooters will then head along the Broomielaw before crossing the Squinty Bridge, then they will ride up Govan Road towards the hospital.

The parade will complete a loop of the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Campus before finishing in the grounds of the Royal Hospital for Children – where they are set to be greeted by young patients and their families.

Kirsten Sinclair, Chief Operating Officer at Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity, said: “This year’s traditional Easter Egg Run is even more special as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of one of the city’s most colourful Easter fundraising events.

“There is no sight quite like hundreds of bikers in fancy dress riding through the city, and seeing the smiles on the faces of our young patients as the parade reaches the hospital."

We are very eggcited to see this impressive spectacle once again!
