Aberdeen Kiltwalk Course Marshals

Volunteering details

Sign up now to volunteer at the Aberdeen Kiltwalk 2024! Join our fantastic team of Kiltie volunteers and help support thousands of walkers as they take on the Aberdeen Kiltwalk and fundraise for a charity close to their heart.

As a Route Motivator Kiltie (course marshal), you will be positioned at key points along our 18 mile route from Duthie Park to Banchory. You will be responsible for directing walkers, ensuring they follow safety guidelines and providing them with support, encouragement and motivation when they need it most. This is a fun-filled role and one of the most important to our walkers.

The Aberdeen Kiltwalk will take place on Sunday 2 June. Shift times are 8:30am - 1:30pm, 9:30am - 1:30pm or 9:30am - 5:30pm. Check in points will be Camphill School, Drumoak Playing Fields, Milton Park or Crathes Castle.


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 will also have the opportunity to develop new skills and gain valuable experience in the events industry. It truly is a rewarding day!
