The 2019 Glasgow Kiltwalk was the biggest yet, with more than 13,000 fundraisers taking part. That meant it was also Arnold Clark’s biggest ever Kiltwalk car giveaway, with an extra car added to the prize draw for every 5,000 people who signed up.
Catherine Haldane from Parkhouse, Andy Stott from Dumbarton and Nadia Ucci from Largs, who took part in the 26-mile Mighty Stride and 15-mile Big Stroll events, visited Arnold Clark’s Hillington head office to collect the keys to a brand-new Kia Rio each from Arnold Clark Chief Executive and Group Managing Director Eddie Hawthorne.
Catherine completed the Big Stroll for the Princess Royal Maternity & Neonatal Unit, as a thank you to the staff who looked after her daughter, who was born prematurely. Andy also took part in the Big Stroll to raise funds for Cash for Kids, while Nadia took on the Mighty Stride for Ardgowan Hospice in Gourock, raising funds in memory of a colleague.
Eddie Hawthorne said: ‘We always want do our bit to encourage people to take part in this great event. We're thrilled to be supporting the Kiltwalk for yet another year, and we're even happier to be able to supply three lucky winners with a fantastic Kia Rio.’
Kiltwalk CEO Paul Cooney, said: ‘We are so proud of Glasgow’s Kiltwalkers each year, who take part in their masses, raising money for charitable causes close to their hearts. We are very thankful to our platinum sponsor, Arnold Clark, who blow us away every year with their incredible generosity, and to each walker who chooses to pull on their walking boots and take part.’
There are still three more chances to win and raise funds for your favourite charities. The next Kiltwalk takes place in Aberdeen on 2nd June, with the Dundee Kiltwalk following on 18th August. The final event of the year will take place in Edinburgh on 15th September.
