Ultra X partners with leading Cancer Charity Macmillan Cancer Support
Ultra X partners with MacMillan Cancer Support to add ultra marathons to the list of Macmillon running events. See how you can join an Ultra X race and raise funds on behalf of this vital charity.
We are thrilled to announce that Ultra X has joined forces with the leading UK charity, Macmillan Cancer Support, in a collaboration that goes beyond elevating our commitment to transformative experiences. It also ignites a spirit of charitable giving within our community, adding an extra layer to the existing Macmillan running portfolio with more extreme charity challenges.
How does the partnership work?
The collaboration between Ultra X and Macmillan Cancer Support will not only raise awareness for a worthy cause but also promote charitable giving among event participants.
As part of this initiative, Ultra X is introducing reduced-price charity bib entries across all events, providing an opportunity for runners to contribute to the Macmillan run events fundraising with the proceeds directed to Macmillan Cancer Support to further their vital work.
Additionally, competitors can make a ‘charitable donation’ during event registration, with the proceeds directly supporting Macmillan Cancer Support and their vital work. This collaboration extends beyond the events themselves, highlighting Ultra X’s commitment to Macmillan Cancer Support in organizing charity fundraising challenges and actively engaging with participants. Further information about Ultra X events can be found here.
