From Glasgow to Cardiff, London to Laxey, all seven Home Nations have used their landscapes, views or young sports fans to show their excitement for Glasgow 2014 and their support for the Sport Your Trainers campaign for 2014.

Two familiar symbols of the Games – the giant inflatable trainer and a cut-out of Official Mascot Clyde have been captured at a host of locations throughout the Home Nations, from the view of Glasgow from the top of the picturesque Glasgow 2014 Mountain Bike venue at Cathkin Braes, to the Millennium Bridge in the heart of London, the shore line of Jersey and the distinctive Titanic Belfast centre.

The Sport Your Trainers campaign for 2014 once again encourages youngsters to step up and sport their trainers for Commonwealth Day, building on the growing excitement among young people for Glasgow 2014 and encouraging increased physical activity.

Adam Paker, Chief Executive of Commonwealth Games England, said:

“Commonwealth Games England is right behind Sport Your Trainers. It’s a great way to show your excitement about the Games this year. We at Team England have been working really hard on preparing the best team possible and can’t wait for it all to start.”



CGE are celebrating Commonwealth Day by sporting their trainers.
