Ben Mcleod, general manager at The Social Hub, said: "It's the perfect opportunity for anyone who missed out on the London Marathon ballot.
"You still get to be part of a huge global running event, support an incredible cause, and have loads of fun doing it.
"We're so excited to be hosting a Wings for Life App Run here at The Social Hub Glasgow, it's part of a global fundraising initiative by Red Bull to support spinal cord research.
"All 21 of our hubs across Europe will be taking part on Sunday, and it's shaping up to be a really special event.
"The event is open to all, whether you're a regular runner or just fancy being part of something meaningful and fun."
Anyone looking to sign up and join the Glasgow run can do so on the Wings for Life World Run website.
All entry fees go directly towards spinal cord research, helping to find a cure for spinal cord injuries.
