History was made today!👏
A record number of 14,000 Kiltwalk Heroes stepped out today to raise millions of pounds for 856 different Scottish charities.
Today’s event is the biggest ever Kiltwalk and also made history when it sold-out in advance for the first time. Eager walkers lined up to take part in three routes: the 23-mile Mighty Stride, which left from Glasgow Green, the 14-mile Big Stroll from Clydebank, and the three-mile Wee Wander from Lomond Shores to Moss O’ Balloch Park.Charities were out in full force to cheer on walkers and provide a much-needed morale boost at the six pit stops along the way, where walkers recharged with snacks, fruit and soft drinks from supermarket partner Lidl.
This year the entry fee was reduced by 37 per cent from £32 to £20 to make Kiltwalk as accessible as possible amid the cost-of-living crisis. Every penny raised goes directly to the charities chosen by the walkers. Over the last seven years the Kiltwalk has raised and distributed £37 million to over 3,000 charities.READ NEXT:
