Should this article mention, in passing, that other runs with similar names are nevertheless not run by the same company? I believe neither the Great West Run nor the Great Scottish Run are (the former's livery is really very similar)? Perhaps:

A number of other road races in the UK, such as the Great West Run and the Great Scottish Run, have similar names, but are not operated by, or affiliated to, the Great Run organisation.

I don't think we need be exhaustive about these, but the fact that not all Great XXX Runs are part of the same outfit is, to my mind, relevant. -- Finlay McWalterჷ Talk 21:34, 15 September 2012 (UTC) reply
