Included in your registration fee are:
- Your Macmillan hiking top
- Training and fundraising support from your dedicated Mighty Hike team
- A fresh buffet lunch, pit stops filled with snacks and a hot meal to finish
- Regular pit stops with toilets and medical support
- Expert mountain leaders to keep you on track
- Free professional photos to remember your incredible achievement
- A special medal and glass of bubbly to celebrate crossing the finish!
