Still grinning from ear to ear this morning! Absolutely loved it. Deborah, Jurassic Coast 2023

This time last year I was one week post breast cancer surgery, and never imagined I'd have the stamina to complete something like this. A huge thank you to Macmillan & all the volunteers who made this event so brilliant! Sharon, 2023

The food was amazing, the toilets all clean, the cups of tea were amazing!! Deanna, Norfolk Coast 2024

I hiked this marathon in memory of my late partner. It was, and will be one of the best things I’ve ever done. Phillipa, Mighty Hiker 2023

LAURA'S STORY
Just WOW, I have entered quite a few races in my time but doing a Mighty Hike was by far the best organised I have ever been to. Macmillan are an amazing organisation and have been a massive help to me and my family throughout our darkest times, yesterday they did not let us down!
