Kiltwalk Event Support

Volunteering details

Apply now to volunteer at a Kiltwalk event in 2024!

Join our fantastic team of Kiltie volunteers and help support thousands of walkers as they take on Scotland’s ultimate walking challenge and fundraise for a charity close to their heart.

Sunday 2nd June – Aberdeen Kiltwalk
Sunday 11th August – Dundee Kiltwalk
Sunday 15th September – Edinburgh Kiltwalk


With a selection of roles to choose from, there really is something for everyone! See our walkers off at the start line, welcome them across the finish line or help them recharge at one of our Pit Stops. You can also provide support on the route by cheering and directing walkers. You can do this on foot, by cycling or by driving – we have options to suit all.


Kiltwalk is Scotland’s largest mass participation walking event with over 145,000 people taking part since 2016. The kind-hearted Kiltwalk community have taken big strides for charities close to their hearts and together with The Hunter Foundation, have managed to raise a staggering £42.5 million to date. All funds raised have been distributed to 3,330 Scottish Charities.


Our walkers rely on the encouragement and motivation they receive from our volunteers and many report that this is what ultimately gets them across the finish line. Be part of a feel-good event, soak up the Kiltwalk atmosphere and meet like-minded people. You’ll also have the opportunity to develop new skills and gain valuable experience in the events industry. It truly is a rewarding day!
