Starting on the historic Royal Mile, this incredible city centre route takes you past the Scottish National Gallery, through Princes Street Gardens, and past the Scottish Parliament building. It continues past Holyrood Palace and Dynamic Earth, leading into the famous Grassmarket. The route concludes with a grandstand finish at Murrayfield Stadium.

Gift Aid on donations to Shelter Scotland
Please encourage your donors to include Gift Aid in their donations. It’s a fantastic way to help us raise extra funds and be there for more people who are living in unsafe housing conditions.
If your event has a fundraising target, Gift Aid does not count towards it.
If you cancel
If you cancel less than 24 hours before the event, any money raised will be kept by Shelter Scotland.
If the money you raised was given on the condition you complete the event, and the event is cancelled or you do not complete the event, then you must contact donors and ask if they are still happy for the sponsorship money to go Shelter Scotland.
If donors do not wish for their sponsorship money to go to Shelter Scotland in this circumstance, then the donation must be refunded to them.
If the sponsorship money was given without any conditions attached and the event is cancelled, or you do not complete the event, the money should be paid to Shelter Scotland. There is no obligation to contact the donors. There is also no need to confirm this with the donors.
