What our past fundraisers thought of this event

"I returned to running in August 2024 and was encouraged by my niece Julia. We ran the Glasgow 10k in October 2024 together and after that run we booked the Supernova Kelpies 5K. Julia inspires me and is happy to run at my (slow) pace. I wanted to make the run meaningful and was happy to try and make money for Age Scotland, a worthy cause. "

Angie (Supernova 5k 2025)

"I love running with my Auntie Angie. We support and motivate each other and we had a great time at the Supernova Kelpies event. The atmosphere was wonderful and we look forward to doing it again next year, but with more glowsticks!"
