Man begins 250-mile run at Aberdeen's Pittodrie in memory of dad who died of brain tumour

A man has begun a 250-mile run between all 12 Scottish Premiership stadiums in just one week in memory of his late father.

Archie Whitfield, 23, set off from Aberdeen's Pittodrie Stadium on Saturday (August 16) and will finish his run at Kilmarnock's Rugby Park on Saturday, August 23 in a bid to raise £100,000 for The Brain Charity in memory of his father, Dave, who died in December 2023 after living with Cushing's disease caused by a pituitary brain tumour.

The challenge comes just months after Archie, a former York FC player, completed a gruelling 835-mile endurance run visiting all 20 English Premier League stadiums in 25 days, finishing with the London Marathon.
