Thanks for taking the time to visit Heal's JustGiving page and for supporting our fundraising efforts alongside Heal Physiotherapy's Riverside Run on September 8th, 2026 at 6:30pm.

Heal is delighted to host the Riverside Run again this year.

We encourage you to get active and move more by joining us for a 4km or 2km distance.

The event will start next to the River Tay, adjacent to Discovery Point Museum, and head out along the Riverside footpath. There will be turn at 1km for those who chose to walk, a turn at 2km for those who are running. This event is an out and back course and will finish at the same point as the start. The event is all on the pavement with no road sections. As for previous years, the race will start in front of the Discovery Point Museum.

There will be goody bags for all finishers. Prizes for the 4km First Male and Female runners as well as for the first runners in the Under 20, Senior, over 40, Over 50 and Over 60 age groups (Category prizes will go to the second person in that age group if the overall race winner is in the same category). After the race there will be some Tea/ Coffee and Cakes available at the Heal Physiotherapy Clinic, 14 Dudhope Street, Dundee, DD1 1JU.

All entry fees and monies raised this year will go to SAMH.
