GCF26 - Run Club with Body&Sole Fitness

The ever-popular GCF run club is back for 2026!

We’re excited to welcome back Greig Corr-Macleod from Body & Sole Fitness, who has been leading the GCF runs for the last few years.

Since completing his first marathon in 2009, Greig has dedicated himself to helping others run better, faster and for longer, all while staying injury-free. His racing experience spans everything from 5ks to ultra-marathons, so he’ll be there for all your running-related questions!  

Alongside running, Greig is a qualified personal trainer, nutritional advisor and Scottish Athletics coach. His approach focuses on simple, sustainable habits - helping people feel and perform better through movement, nutrition and rest.

We caught up with Greig to tell us about himself and what you can expect at the fest! 

Hey Greig, can you introduce yourself…

My name is Greig, I’m a running and strength and conditioning coach based in Glasgow. 

How did you get involved with Glasgow Coffee Festival?

I’ve been taking the GCF Run Club for the last three years. Before I started my own fitness business, I worked for Dear Green, so the collaboration made perfect sense!

What can people expect from the run this year? 

GCF run club is a fun and social, easy-paced run. 

We’ll set off from The Briggait at 8am for a 1-hour run before arriving back at the festival for breakfast. You’re then free to enjoy the full morning at the festival!

Where’s your favourite spot for a coffee?

I’m a home brew kind of guy, so my fave spot is the back garden for a morning filter. 

If I’m out, it’s got to be single origin filter, no milk, preferably East African (also where the best runners are from!)

If you could have coffee with anyone, who would it be, and where? 

If I could have a coffee anywhere with anyone, I’d say my kids when they’re grown up on an adventure, either in the woods or up a mountain :)

Tickets for Greig’s run club are sold out, but keep an eye out for any more tickets being released. 

You can also find out more about Body&Sole Fitness through his website or on Instagram.
