A summer challenge is inviting people to clock up the miles this June to support children and families in hospital.

Stride the Clyde, a 106-mile fundraising event organised by Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity, encourages supporters to walk, run, swim, or cycle the length of the River Clyde.

Funds raised will support children and families in Scotland’s busiest children’s hospital.

Last year’s Stride the Clyde raised more than £16,000 for the charity and an additional £8000 for Crossbasket House.



Kirsten Watson, chief executive of Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity, said: "We’re delighted to be bringing back Stride the Clyde in 2026 after the incredible amount fundraised last year.

"We’re excited to be welcoming new and returning participants to this year’s challenge.

"However you choose to take on Stride the Clyde, every mile that’s covered raises vital funds for young patients and their families."

The challenge, which runs across June, is free to take part and individuals can participate alone, with family members, or as part of a team.
