Great Glen Ultra for Vintage Vibes, 6 July 2024
Vintage Vibes supports lonely and isolated over 60s in Edinburgh through one-to-one friendships, groups and events created to support and empower older people feeling alone to have fun, form lasting friendships and enjoy life.

Story

On 13th of June we had a great day out with Heineken UK Supply Chain Leadership team with Vintage Vibes and learned a lot about the good cause they support to fight loneliness amongst the elderly.

Our main task was to recruit volunteers for the charity fund but also to brainstorm on how to raise more awareness. Inspired by what they stand for, I thought I could raise further awareness and funds by dedicating the next Ultra Run for Vintage Vibes.

From Fort Augustus to Inverness, through the hills on the west of Loch Ness; 42 Miles (67km) and 6.000 feet (1.8km) elevation, there we go! Please support; 10 pound per mile is the target..
