Backing four-time Olympian Eilish McColgan

Lindsays has been a proud sponsor of Scottish athlete Eilish McColgan since 2013. As well as being a four-time Olympian, Eilish is a Commonwealth 10,000m champion and holds British and European records and titles over multiple distances.

We’re delighted to support such a dedicated and talented athlete who continually pushes herself to achieve more, and we’re thrilled to be extending our sponsorship until 2029.

We look forward to watching Eilish achieve her goals, all while inspiring and encouraging other runners in Scotland and beyond.

European 10km

In January 2026, Eilish set a women's European 10km record in Valencia.

Paris 2024 Olympics

Eilish represented Great Britain at the Paris 2024 Olympics, her fourth Olympics, competing in the 10,000m – she is the only Scottish athlete in track and field to achieve this feat.

Berlin Half Marathon 2023

In April 2023, Eilish smashed her own British record (a time of 66:26) by running the Berlin Half Marathon in 65:43.

Medal-Winning Summer 2022

Eilish had a medal-winning summer in 2022 – a Commonwealth Gold (10,000m) and Silver (5,000m) in Birmingham, followed by a Silver (10,000m) and Bronze (5,000m) at the European Championships in Munich later in the same month.

Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games

2021 saw Eilish qualify for her third successive Olympics in Tokyo, where she competed in both the 5000m and 10,000m.

European Championships

In August 2018, Eilish won Silver in the 5000m at the European Championships.

At the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games in April 2018, she qualified for the final in the 1500m and 5000m, placing 6th in both races.

European Indoor Championships

In 2017, she became the Scottish 5000m record holder and won a Bronze medal at the European Indoor Championships.

Rio 2016 Olympic Games

Eilish qualified for the 2016 Olympics in Rio and reached the final of the 5000m.

National record-holder

Eilish is the national record-holder in the 3000-metre steeplechase and the Under-23 record-holder for Great Britain.

Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games

In 2014, Eilish competed at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

London 2012 Olympics

At the London 2012 Olympics, she competed in the 3000-metre steeplechase, her first major international championship.

Dundee Hawkhill Harriers

As a member of the Dundee Hawkhill Harriers, Eilish has been coached by her mum, Liz McColgan, since the age of 13.

I’m incredibly thankful for the support I’ve had from Lindsays over the years. They have made not just an investment in me as an athlete, but as a person, and knowing I have that support is a serious confidence boost.
