Miles4Radiotherapy launches in 2025
Making Miles Matter for trusted, empowering patient information.
Welcome to Miles4Radiotherapy 2025! THE virtual summer challenge for the radiotherapy community.
Join us as we march through the miles and raise crucial funds to support the next stage of our Patients and Families online hub – a place where any adult cancer patient can access trusted, empowering and accredited information for free.
Every penny raised will boost the creation of resources that patients are crying out for. Radiotherapy is tough, but the right support and information can really empower people going through treatment.
Best of all, you choose your challenge! Whether you’re aiming for your first 5k, trying a triathlon, or cycling your way around the UK, this is the challenge for you.
Sign up (HERE) and let’s get ready for a summer of fun.
What’s the challenge?
This year’s Miles4Radiotherapy challenge starts on July 1 and runs for two months. Anyone impacted by cancer can create a team or individual challenge and clock up the miles for sponsorship.
You choose how you move: walking, running, scooting, wheeling, sailing, horse-riding, and boxing are just some of the choices from previous years. This is a great way to set and smash your health goals for the summer.
Everyone who signs up will get a welcome pack, challenge merchandise, and exclusive access to the Race At Your Pace App, where you can record your miles and track your progress on the leaderboard.
We are so delighted to announce our very first headline Ultra sponsor – welcome to the team, Xiel!
Our Sprint event partners this year are Amethyst Radiotherapy and Oncology Imaging Systems, and we are delighted to welcome back oncology podcast and hub Rad Chat as our event media partner!
I’m in! How do I start?
Sign up (HERE) and let’s get ready for a summer of fun.
Your £20 registration fee supports us as we create trusted information with and for patients. You can start a team for your friends and workmates or join a team that’s already been set up (anyone is welcome to join our very own Radiotherapy UK team). You can also do the challenge on your own if you prefer.
What do I have to do once I’ve registered?
Then you have the whole of July and August to collect as many miles as you can, however you choose: walking, running, cycling, scooting, swimming, surfing and horse riding have all been done in previous challenges.
Once you’re all signed up, make your miles matter by having a bash at fundraising. You can share your sponsorship form with friends and family, send out an email to your networks explaining what you are doing with a link to your online fundraising page, ask your work if they will match fund the amount you raise, and share your Miles4Radiotherapy journey on socials with ways to give.
What support will I get?
Every participant will get a fundraising pack and the first 100 to sign up will also get a bright orange Radiotherapy UK T-shirt. We’ll be backing your efforts with lots of moral support and can’t wait to share your pics and updates.
What’s the aim?
Every year, more than 160,000 courses of radiotherapy are delivered across the UK by our dedicated and highly skilled workforce.
With our #Miles4Radiotherapy challenge, we’re aiming to match that number — 160,000 miles — through collective action and movement.
Each mile represents a powerful journey: the life-changing experience of radiotherapy, our highly skilled workforce, and the thousands of UK cancer patients each year seeking trusted, empowering information to help them navigate cancer.
Together, we can raise awareness, show solidarity, and fundraise to create trusted radiotherapy information for every adult UK cancer patient who needs it.
