The Mighty Stride

At 26 miles, The Mighty Stride is a marathon ramble. But it’s also a scenic one, starting at the West Sands in St Andrews, winding through Tentsmuir Forest and crossing the Tay Road Bridge before passing Broughty Castle.

The Big Stroll

Stretching for 11 miles, The Big Stroll is a great challenge for those new to long-distance walking – but still no walk in the park. Participants set off from Tayport Common.

The Wee Wander

The Wee Wander is a great way for the whole family to join in the fun at a more manageable three miles. It starts at Castle Green, Broughty Ferry.

When do walkers start and finish?

  • The Mighty Stride starts at 9am at West Sands, St Andrews
  • The Big Stroll starts at 11am at Tayport Common
  • The Wee Wander starts at midday at Castle Green, Broughty Ferry

Each route finishes in the Kiltwalk Village at the Blue Seaway park in Monifieth. The first finishers are expected around 1pm, with most crossing the line between 2pm and 3pm.

How will charities benefit?

Participants choose their own charity to raise funds for and around 300 causes are set to benefit from Dundee Kiltwalk 2022.

A 50% top-up for each participant from The Hunter Foundation will add 50p to every pound raised.

How can I learn more?

The Kiltwalk has several online resources including detailed route maps and details about transport and parking.

There is also a mobile Kiltwalk app available on Apple Store and Google Play.

Make sure you pick up a copy of the Evening Telegraph on Monday, which will be publishing a roll of honour with every single Kiltwalk Hero to take part.
