WHY WE WORK WITH CHARITIES
Charity fundraising has always been at the heart of Ultra X. Since 2019, our global community of runners has raised millions of pounds through charity running events and ultra marathons for good causes.
We’re proud to partner with leading organisations, including Macmillan Cancer Support, Parkinson’s UK, and the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) across our 2025-2027 events seasons. Wether you’re running for Macmillan, taking on a charity ultra marathon for Parkinson’s, or tackling an extreme charity event to support mental health, you’ll be part of something bigger.
All runners fundraising for a charity partner receive 50% off entry fees. To get involved, register for your chosen event and select the fundraising option at checkout.

SUPPORT
Macmillan Cancer Support is a UK-based charity founded in 1911 by Douglas Macmillan, declared to supporting individuals affected by cancer. The organization provides medical, emotional, and financial assistance, offering specialist nurses, helplines, and grants to improve the quality of life for patients and their families. Macmillan also advocates for better cancer care and works to raise awareness and funds through community events and partnerships.
Because cancer can affect your life in so many ways, we do whatever it takes to give people support they need. Macmillan Cancer Support.
