Running, knitting or shopping - how will you support Age Scotland? Although some events have been cancelled because of the pandemic, there are still plenty of opportunities to run, cycle, knit or shop - and support Age Scotland at the same time. Here are some of the upcoming fundraisers, all of which will adhere to Covid guidelines. We hope you’ll find something to try!
Duathlon Edinburgh - 11 April 2021 We have five coveted places to offer on this sold out event! The Duathlon is at Gosford House, East Lothian, and includes a 5k run around the beautiful estate, followed by a 25k cycle along the coast and countryside, followed by another 5k run. www.age.scot/duathalon
Stirling Marathon – 8-9 May 2021 Run through the beautiful city of Stirling, then on to historic Dunblane and continuing onto Doune passing the castle (where Outlander was filmed!) finishing at King’s Park. What a fantastic way to beat your personal best and raise money for Age Scotland!
Edinburgh Marathon Weekend – 29-30 May 2021
Amazon Smile Did you know that every time you shop with Amazon you can support Age Scotland? Just go to www.smile.amazon.co.uk download the app, and choose Age Scotland. You will not pay any more for your products and a donation will go to support our work with older people across Scotland. That is something to smile about!
And a huge thank you to… our two Age
Scotland Ambassadors: Nigel Mika from Minnesota, a student at St Andrews University, is running the Stirling Marathon and Lawrence Dunn, a cyclist from Glasgow, is taking part in the Ride the North 2021 event in July. Please support them and cheer them on!
Starting at Potterow and finishing at Pinkie playing fields, this is the largest marathon outside London, and a great way to see the city and meet new friends.
Virtual Kiltwalk - 23-25 April 2021 Once again the first kiltwalk of the year will be virtual, so why not get friends and family together, put on your tartan kilt, scarves or ties and walk for older people.
