Event Support Volunteer (Yorkshire Dales Mighty Hike - 28 June 2025)

Join us on Saturday 28 June and support thousands of hikers taking on the Yorkshire Dales Mighty Hike in the magnificent Yorkshire Dales National Park. You could be supporting at one of our finish villages in Malham or Hebden, or at our full marathon start village helping preparations for the day. Depending on the shift you sign up for you could be involved in a number of ways:

Start village – You’ll be helping with essential preparations ahead of the event and soaking up the atmosphere and excitement before hikers head off on their challenge. You could be greeting participants as the first face they see, handing out registration numbers, or supporting on our pop-up shop selling Macmillan merchandise. With early start times, this role will best suit volunteers who live locally.

Finish village – There’s plenty to get involved in with this role, and you’ll be a key part of helping hikers celebrate their amazing achievement at the end of their hike. You could be capturing photo memories for participants at our finisher wall, selling our participants a memento from our pop-up shop, or even congratulating our finishers across the line with a medal and glass of fizz. You’re more than welcome to volunteer at both the start and finish of the event.

Volunteering at a Mighty Hike really is one of the most rewarding experiences; sharing the sense of pride with everyone at the events, enjoying the brilliant atmosphere and feeling united by knowing that you are a key part in helping us to raise as much money for people living with cancer.

At Macmillan we give people with cancer everything we’ve got. Do you have enthusiasm for fundraising and work well in a team? Then we would love you to join us as an Event Support Volunteer and be a part of an amazing team on the day, and if you love the experience you might be inspired to join the team at other events in the future. By sharing your skills and time, you’ll have a rewarding and fun experience, helping us to deliver an excellent experience for event participants and meet new people as part of a friendly team that makes a difference in the community. Together, we can be right there for people with cancer.
