Making miles matter in support of trusted patient information
Miles4Radiotherapy returns for 2026
Registration countdown!
Miles4Radiotherapy 2026
Welcome to Miles4Radiotherapy 2026! Our virtual summer fundraising challenge for the cancer community. Everyone taking part can help collect miles for our grand total, doing the activity of their choice.
Sign up (here) from May 6th 2026. Everyone who signs up in May gets a 10% discount!
Registration includes your own Race At Your Pace App account to track your miles, fundraising page and digital pack, plus the chance to win individual and team prizes.
The challenge begins on July 1 and lasts for two months.
Join us as we march through the miles and raise crucial funds to support our Patients and Families online hub – a place where any adult cancer patient can access trusted, empowering and accredited information for free. To support this work, enter the challenge and set up your fundraising page (here).
Participants last year have helped us reach more than 30,000 people through our hub resources so far.
Who can do the challenge?
The challenge is open to all abilities. You set your targets, and choose how you do your miles. Past participants have walked, jogged, ran, cycled, ridden horses, paddle boarded and obstacle coursed their way through the challenge! And because the challenge is virtual, you can take part from your own front door.
There is no age limit, and we welcome everyone to take part in a way that works for you and your life circumstances.
- Are you recovering from cancer treatment? You are welcome
- Do you have mobility issues? You are welcome
- Are you an ambitious triathlete? You are welcome
- Are you unable to leave your home? You are welcome
- Are you returning to exercise after a break? You are welcome
The Race At Your App allows you to turn any activity, big or small, into mileage. You can include activities like cleaning the house, making the bed, climbing Ben Nevis, walking your children to school – you name it – it counts.
What is the challenge for?
Radiotherapy patients tell us they want a safe place to access trusted information before, during and after treatment. Sometimes hospital appointments feel too short, or people feel so worried it’s hard to concentrate and ask questions.
In May 2025 we launched our Patients and Families online hub to meet this health need; a place where there are free videos and information about radiotherapy and cancer.
Our resources are PIF TICK accredited, which means they are accessible, inclusive, and made with the support of patients and clinicians.
We’re off to a strong start, but we have a long way to go, and a big list of resources to make!
Doing things properly takes time and money – so every penny raised by this challenge supports our vital work.
What is the aim?
The aim is to bag as many miles as we can during July and August. You can take part on your own, or as a team. If you don’t have a team, you can join ours! Once you have set yourself a mileage aim, you can ask your friends and loved ones to sponsor you.
The App has individual and team leaderboards, so you can be as competitive as you like. Either with others – or yourself. But remember that every mile counts towards the final total.
This year we are deliberately aiming high – 200,000 miles – representing double our total last year.

Going greener, thanks to you
We’ve listened carefully to your feedback from last year, and shaped this year’s challenge to be more environmentally friendly.
You told us you didn’t automatically want merchandise, or for our team to spend funds sending out fundraising packs – so this year we’re going digital. When the challenge launches we’ll send you everything you need by email.
Instead we are working on some great spot prizes for teams and individuals, so you feel inspired to give the challenge your best shot.
