The British Heart Foundation Scotland is bringing back its Glasgow to Edinburgh Trek after a successful first year in 2015.

Glasgow to Edinburgh Trek is a challenging and fun way to support the nation’s heart charity, save lives and improve your own heart health at the same time. It’s one of the most demanding best events in the calendar and a great challenge to take on to help the BHF Scotland fight back against coronary heart disease – Scotland’s single biggest killer. Walk day and night and experience stunning views, atmospheric pathways, moonlit canals and shadowy tunnels in this unforgettable adventure.

You’ll pass numerous famous landmarks and sites along the route, including Kelvingrove Museum and Park, locks on the Forth and Clyde canal, the Falkirk Wheel and Linlithgow Palace before arriving in the capital.

The BHF Scotland hopes to raise £60,000 from the Glasgow to Edinburgh Trek to help fund essential research which can create a better future for the thousands of families in Scotland affected by heart disease. At the moment, the BHF is spending £57million on research in Scotland alone.
