Edinburgh Kiltwalk offers three routes on 13 September
The Edinburgh Kiltwalk takes place on Sunday, 13 September 2026, with three charity walking routes starting at locations across the city and all finishing at Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium. Entry costs from £7 to £20 per person, and participants must register through the Edinburgh Kiltwalk website.
Open to the general public, the event gives walkers a choice between a 21-mile challenge, an 11-mile route and a five-mile family-friendly option. Each participant can raise funds for a Scottish charity of their choice.
Choose the Edinburgh Kiltwalk distance that suits you
| Route | Distance | Start point | Finish |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Mighty Stride | 21 miles | Holyrood Park | Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium |
| The Big Stroll | 11 miles | Fisherrow Links, Musselburgh | Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium |
| The Wee Wander | 5 miles | Victoria Park | Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium |
The Mighty Stride is the longest route for those looking to take on the full-distance challenge. The Big Stroll offers a shorter alternative starting from Fisherrow Links in Musselburgh, while the Wee Wander is described by the source as ideal for families and travels through the city from Victoria Park.
The separate starting points matter when choosing a route: walkers should select their distance with its departure location in mind, while all participants share the same finish at Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium.
Fundraising and support along the route
The Kiltwalk is a fundraising event for Scottish charities, allowing each walker to support a cause close to them. The event can also appeal to people taking on a personal challenge, working towards a fitness goal or marking a bucket-list ambition, according to Forever Edinburgh Events.
People who do not register can still take part in the atmosphere by lining sections of the routes to cheer on walkers. With all three distances converging at Murrayfield, the stadium will be the common finishing point for participants arriving from across Edinburgh and Musselburgh.
