From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Glasgow is to host a 10k fun run in which competitors will be offered wine instead of water.
Organisers say that, far from trying to get those taking part legless, the plan of giving runners a 20ml "taster" of wine is to encourage more people to take part.
Hundreds of people have already signed up for the event, which will be held on 24 September.
TeamOA has run the event before in West Yorkshire and has also held “chocolat-ons” for runners.
Wane Law, managing director of TeamOA, said: "We want to put the fun back into running and get people to make a day of the event. We'd love people to bring picnic blankets and enjoy a day out in the countryside."
“Entries will be capped at 600 this year to make sure it's a safe and fun event," he added.
The wine will cost around £7.50 per bottle and will be on sale at the end of the race.
Event participants will only be permitted to take part if they’re aged 18 or over.
