Get together for good by joining in with our parkrun Coffee Morning
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 parkrun Macmillan Coffee Morning 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 2026, 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 26 September 2026, join us to at our parkrun Macmillan Coffee Morning.
How to take part
Gary's story
Discovering parkrun after a diagnosis
In 2017, Gary was diagnosed with cancer. After treatment, he wanted to improve his cardio and discover parkrun. This led him to also take part in the London marathon in support of Macmillan.
"Macmillan became very important to me from the very start of my diagnosis. There was someone to talk to, I was given financial information and signposted to a counsellor, as initially I was struggling with the thought of leaving my wife behind and how she would cope."
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.
