One of the best experiences of my life! Fantastic day I will never forget. Samantha, Rob Roy 2023
What a great experience, my first hike. Macmillan has been there for me since my diagnosis, treatment, recovery and now hike. Such a well organised event. Linda, hiker of the Rob Roy 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
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!
We were amazed by the organisation that goes into Macmillan Mighty Hikes. Everything from the support from the staff on the course to the food and the information you get is outstanding. It's off the scale.
