What is Sport Your Trainers?

On March 14th 2011 'Sport Your Trainers' day took Scotland by storm. The ‘Sport Your Trainers’ campaign was developed to capture the enthusiasm for Glasgow 2014 by the Scottish public, and ultimately involve people in the Games on a national scale.

From Arran to Aberdeen, Dumfries to Dundee, people all over the country joined in by wearing their trainers as they went about their normal working day.

The Sport Your Trainers campaign was officially launched by Glasgow 2014 Chairman Robert Smith and Commonwealth medallist Robbie Renwick.

The event, which will now be held annually on Commonwealth Day until Glasgow 2014, will increase in size and scope over the years, culminating in the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games themselves.

 

When is the next Sport Your Trainers?

The next ‘Sport Your Trainers’ day will take place on March 12th 2012. Details on how to get involved will be announced early February 2012.
