  • 5 kilometres

Ready to join the Supernova Kelpies 5k and support Shelter Scotland? The standard entry fee is £25.50, and there is no minimum fundraising pledge – please raise as much as you can. Complete the form at the end of this page to register your interest, and we'll follow up with details of how to join.

Walk, jog or run a 5k route through the enchanting Helix Park in Falkirk. You'll pass the memorable 30-metre Kelpie sculptures, illuminated against the evening sky. The route is traffic-free and accessible for self-propelled wheelchairs or hand bikes. All abilities are welcome, so push yourself for a personal best, or enjoy a leisurely stroll with family and friends.

When you run for charity with Shelter Scotland, every pound you raise helps defend the right to a safe home for everyone.

The Supernova Kelpies event is open to all ages. Children under the age of 16 must be supervised by a parent or guardian.

We can't fight the housing emergency without your help

When you run for charity with Shelter Scotland, you're standing with people at the sharp end of the housing emergency.

Our experts provide support and advocacy through our helpline, online advice and local community hubs. We also campaign for long-term change that will tackle the root causes of homelessness, by:

  • putting pressure on the Scottish Government to deliver a new generation of social homes

  • empowering communities and educating them about their housing rights

  • calling out systemic racism in the housing sector

Fundraise for Shelter Scotland

We recommend setting up a JustGiving page for online fundraising. If you do not already have a fundraising page, our community fundraising team can help you set one up. You can ask people to sponsor you through your fundraising page or use a paper fundraising form.

We're here to support you with your fundraising. If you have any questions, please email us at communityscotland@shelter.org.uk or call 0344 515 1190.

Gift Aid on donations

Please encourage people who sponsor you to include Gift Aid in their donations. It's a fantastic way to help us raise extra funds and be there for more people living in unsafe housing. Gift Aid does not count towards your fundraising target.
