Macmillan Mighty Hikes, the cancer charity’s iconic hiking series, is back for 2025, and aiming to raise more than ever before to help fund Macmillan’s vital range of support services for people living with cancer.
The one-day half and full marathon fundraising hikes are taking place in 12 locations across the UK, including the iconic Giant's Causeway on June 21.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the series, which began in 2015 and has raised a total of £70 million for people living with cancer.
Last year, 24,000 people participated and raised £10.7 million.
Helen Hancock, Mighty Hike Team Manager at Macmillan Cancer Support, said: “We’re incredibly grateful to all our incredible supporters who took on the challenge of hiking a full or half marathon Macmillan Mighty Hike last year. Every penny raised helps us go the extra mile to do whatever it takes for people living with cancer, whoever and wherever they are.
