The Hibernian Community Foundation is excited to launch our involvement in the 2025 Edinburgh Kiltwalk!
Taking place on Sunday, September 14, this will be the 6th time HCF have been involved, with numbers increasingly sharping since our first official involvement as a team in 2023.
HCF will be covering the cost of your entry under the code HIBS2025 when you sign up to walk. We are challenging and encouraging all walkers to raise £150 or more to celebrate Hibernian FC’s 150th anniversary.
Sign up here and nominate ‘Hibernian Community Foundation’ as your charity, otherwise the discount code will not activate.
The Edinburgh Kiltwalk began in 2016 as a way of bringing charities across Scotland together to raise funds for their chosen cause. Walkers began to nominate HCF in 2020 during virtual COVID Kiltwalks, before HCF officially entered in 2023 with 300 Community Academy players raising over £18,000 for our range of community football initiatives.
In 2024 HCF once again participated as an official charity, encouraging Community Academy players, fans, staff and members of the Hibernian community to walk and raise funds. Walkers were joined by a number of men’s team players including captain and HCF board member Joe Newell, Nicky and Chris Cadden, Rudi Molotnikov and Josh Campbell, as well as David Gray, Sporting Director Malkay Mackay and Chairman Ian Gordon. Walkers’ efforts in harsh conditions were rewarded with over £16,000 raised, marking another impressive entry for HCF.
“2023 and 2024 were both such great successes for us, and we are eager to be bigger and better in 2025,” said Chair of the HCF Board, Steve Smith.
“The money raised each year has been pivotal in our delivery of football and community activities, providing equipment and support for people who don’t regularly receive it.”
This year HCF is challenging every walker tor raise £150, honouring the 150th anniversary of Hibernian FC and the charitable, community-focused roots of the club.
“We know the target of £150 per walker is ambitious, but we also know the community surrounding Hibs rallies behind their friends, and hopefully every walker can hit that target.”
As in previous years we will be organising to leave as a group in the 10.30am Wee Wander slot, so if you would like to join please indicate that in your registration. If you are aiming to participate in either the Big Stroll or Mighty Stride, the discount code will still apply. Whichever length you choose, please be sure to link your Just Giving fundraising page to HCF’s: 2025 Kiltwalk with HCF.
This year walkers will once again have the chance to walk alongside their heroes, as in previous years the likes of David Gray, Joe Newell, Nicky and Chris Cadden, Rudi Molotnikov and Josh Campbell have all participated. Please note that appearances from players and coaching staff is dependent on availability amid changes in fixtures.
