Great Scottish Walk
Meadowbank Stadium, Edinburgh
22 June 2008
Launched in 1998, the Great Scottish Walks are one of Scotland 's premier fundraising events. Simultaneously supporting healthy living, these annual events offer the public the opportunity to be actively involved in beneficial health activities, community events and charitable fundraising, regardless of fitness and physical ability. Inclusivity is one of the keys to the event's continued success, promoted to all sections of the community particularly encouraging groups, teams and families to walk.
Originally, the Edinburgh event attracted approximately 2,000 walkers in aid of 2 charities. Now over 5,000 walkers of all ages participate, raising in excess of £1 million for over 200 charities and leading to the launch of a Glasgow great walk in 2008.
Walkers can choose form three distances; 1 mile, 6miles or 12 miles offering an alternative to those not confident or capable of completing the full 12 miles and creating a day/event which will engage all areas of society.
