Registration has opened for the 2024 Edinburgh Kiltwalk on Sunday 15 September. Kiltwalkers can take part in one of three walks: the 21-mile Mighty Stride, the 11-mile Big Stroll, or the Wee Wander of just five miles.
A record 7,000 Edinburgh Kiltwalkers raised over £1.25 million for 713 Scottish charities at this year’s Edinburgh Kitwalk, it has been revealed. Overall the 2023 Kiltwalk campaign was the biggest ever attracting a total of 27,500 Kiltwalk heroes across Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Dundee who raised a phenomenal £5.1m for 1,550 charities.
Over the last eight years, Scotland’s favourite mass participation charity event has raised a staggering £42.5 million for 3,300 Scottish charities.
Due to The Hunter Foundation underwriting Kiltwalk, entry fees have been frozen at 2023’s heavily discounted prices to make it as easy as possible for people to raise money for the charities they care about.
It’s just £20 for walkers taking on the Mighty Stride or Big Stroll. Adults doing the Wee Wander will pay £12.50 and children £6.50. Kiltwalkers can raise money for any charity they choose, with funding going directly to their chosen cause, plus Gift Aid. This means that charities will receive up to 125% of all funds raised at Kiltwalk.
In a recent video announcing this year’s fundraising total, philanthropist Sir Tom Hunter, paid tribute to the event’s headline sponsors Royal Bank of Scotland and Arnold Clark.

He added: “What a year it has been for Kiltwalk. This has been the biggest ever. We had 27,500 walkers raising £5.1 million and most importantly for 1,550 Scottish charities.
“We know how tough it is out there with the cost of living crisis, and how hard it has hit the charity sector. So we have made the decision to keep the entry price at £20 – that’s the best value you will get anywhere in the world to raise funds for a charity you love and have some fun.
“Good luck to everyone – I will see you on a Kiltwalk.”
