Kiltwalk 2025 Event Support

Volunteering details

Sign up now to volunteer at a Kiltwalk event in 2025!

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.

Saturday 26 & Sunday 27 April – Glasgow Kiltwalk
Sunday 1 June – Aberdeen Kiltwalk
Sunday 17 August – Dundee Kiltwalk
Sunday 14 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.


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!


Kiltwalk is Scotland’s largest mass participation walking event with over 178,000 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 £49.5 million to date. All funds raised have been distributed to 3,700 Scottish Charities.
