Celebrate Coffee Morning’s 35th birthday at our parkrun takeover
Macmillan are proud to be a charity partner of parkrun - an organisation which promotes inclusivity, the benefits of physical activity and a community atmosphere as all events are organised by volunteers.
About the Macmillan Coffee Morning parkrun weekend
At Macmillan we give people with cancer everything we’ve got. We are excited to be an official charity partner of parkrun UK which offers local communities a free and inclusive 5k event.
As part of our partnership, we are hosting Macmillan takeovers at parkrun throughout 2025, to increase awareness of Macmillan services, so everyone living with cancer knows that we are there to support them from the point of diagnosis.
On 27 September 2025, join us to celebrate Coffee Morning’s 35th birthday at our parkrun Coffee Morning takeover.

Vicky's story
"I was fortunate that my cancer was caught early, and surgery was the only treatment I needed. As part of my post-surgery rehab, I attended a local NHS initiative called Active Against Cancer, which provides a tailored exercise programme for people with cancer," says Vicky.
"parkrun was mentioned to me at one of these sessions, and it sounded interesting and in November 2024, I completed my first parkrun. I've since completed over 30 parkruns, achieved several self-imposed time targets with the help of friendly pacers, and have also started to give back by volunteering."
Macmillan Coffee Morning
Each year Coffee Morning brings people from across the UK together to enjoy a slice of something nice and raise money to support people living with cancer. Whether you host or attend a Coffee Morning, you can make a difference.
