Walk the Walk: entries open for Moonwalk Scotland 2018

Entries are now open for The Moonwalk Scotland 2018! Breast cancer charity Walk the Walk is encouraging women, men and young people to ‘get famous’ and channel their inner celebrity by signing up for the walking challenge.

Back with added sparkle for the 13th year, Scotland’s much loved night-time extravaganza is taking place on Saturday 9th June at Holyrood Park, Edinburgh.

Oozing with glamour, the ‘Hollywood comes to Holyrood’ themed event will see walkers striding past some of Scotland’s most iconic landmarks, including Edinburgh Castle, Lloyds on the Mound, Arthur’s Seat, Calton Hill and St Giles Cathedral.

Walk the Walk, known for its trademark brightly decorated bras, is hoping people will let their imaginations go into A-list overdrive as they decorate their Hollywood inspired creations to wear at the event.  The streets of LA will be transported to Holyrood Park, as walkers create their own VIP look – keep your eyes peeled for some Marilyn Monroes and Johnny Depps!

Walkers can take on one of four challenges: The New Moon (6.55 miles, open to people aged 10 and over), Half Moon (13.1 miles), Full Moon (26.2 miles) or Over The Moon (52.4 miles).

More than eighty-thousand people have taken part in The MoonWalk Scotland over the years, helping to raise more than £20 million. Most of the money raised from the event stays in Scotland to help improve the lives of people with cancer now. Around 4,600 women and men in Scotland are diagnosed with breast cancer each year*

Nina Barough CBE, Founder and Chief Executive of Walk the Walk said:

“It is just wonderful that The MoonWalk Scotland continues with its iconic success and is back in Edinburgh for an amazing 13th year. Thanks to our Walkers, Volunteers and Supporters raising money and raising awareness, it means that Walk the Walk are able to grant funds where they are most needed towards making such a difference to the care of those living with cancer in Scotland.

“This year appear on the red carpet Walk of Fame marathon, and join a cast of thousands, in what promises to be a most spectacular night. You will be starring against the beautiful and glamorous backdrop of Holyrood wearing Hollywood inspired bras.

“Gather your friends, family and even your neighbours to join the fun – we can’t do it without you!”
