Sadly this year on the 7th January 2026, our beloved friend Sandy Wilson took his own life. Sandy touched many souls far and wide, the numbers at his funeral were a testament to that.

Sandy had many fitness events planned this year alongside friends. We are creating a fundraising team to still run all these events in Sandy’s memory. Along with other friends now joining in.

Things that were planned:

Hyrox Glasgow solo and doubles with James Beattie. Doubles spot now filled by Connor Evison.

Ultra marathon alongside Justin Smith, Callum Ainsworth, Rory Campbell & Craig Barr.

Edinburgh marathon festival, running the full marathon with Sandy’s bib his youngest brother Niall Wilson. Running in Relay style his older Brother Callum and sister in laws Lauren & Jocelyne. Friends running full marathon: James Beattie, Stevie Moran, Craig Byrne, Nathan McFarlane & Gordon Wilson. Half each Ryan Kelly & Scott Adam. In relay style Marc Wilson, Jamie Glancy, Jamie McDaid & Alan Erskine.

This only covered the first half of the year. Knowing Sandy he wouldn’t have stopped there. Perhaps we keep things going all year.

If I have missed anyone please reach out. If anyone wishes to be part of this and join the team in running something in Sandy’s memory please reach out.

There are 3 accounts linked to a team page. If you donate to either James Beattie, Stevie Moran or Justin Smith pages all the money will be into the one pot.
