More than 32,000 people are set to take part in the Great Scottish Run in Glasgow this weekend despite the tricky weather conditions.
Over 100,000 spectators are also expected to line the streets to cheer on their loved ones.
There is a 10K route and a half marathon with both distances starting on St. Vincent Street and finishing at Glasgow Green.
Among the runners is Ian Houson from Stewarton who lived with a tumour on his pancreas for years without even knowing.
He only discovered he had cancer after his GP noticed his blood sugar level was extremely low.
He told Greatest Hits Radio: "I was quite ill and spending a lot of time off of work with chronic fatigue and brain fog - covid has helped people to realise what that is.
"Around a third of my pancreas had to be removed and I've got 15 inches of scarring to show for it."
Ian added: "I spent two months in hospital and then I realised I wanted to live well.
"Not everyone who gets the cancer I did can still say they have part of their pancreas functioning, I feel like I've been given a second life.
Tomorrow's Junior and Mini Kids events are cancelled because of Storm Amy but race bosses are hopeful Sunday's event will run without too many interruptions.
Operations Director Jamie Steele said: "We will definitely put the event on but it might be scaled back in parts.
"Some structures and branding might not be there as normal like the backdrop at the finish line.
"We have a team monitoring the weather constantly as well as a direct line into the MET Office but it may look slightly different to normal."
