Volunteering details

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. Our walkers will walk 18 miles from Bellfield Park, Banchory or 4 miles from Cults Academy finishing at the Kiltwalk Village within Duthie Park.

As a Route Motivator Kiltie (course marshal), you will be positioned at key points along our 18 mile route from Banchory to Duthie Park. You will be responsible for directing walkers 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.

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.
