The Cambridge Half Marathon takes place in this beautiful historic city. A smaller event than some of our others but no less fun or vital to help us support people living with cancer. The quieter cheerpoint is a great opportunity to get involved with volunteering and make some new friends without the pressure of meeting loads of people all at once.

What will you be doing?

Cheerpoint

Join a friendly group of volunteers to encourage our runners to the finish line.
We will provide everything you need to make some noise and paint the path green (Macmillan tabards, cowbells, clappers, pom poms etc.)
Can’t do one of our shift times but would still like to volunteer, get in touch and we can help!

Your impact

£100,000 raised in 2024.
This could help pay for a Macmillan Clinical Specialist Nurse for approximately 18 months.

“It was a fantastic event to be a part of!! The Macmillan Events Team and the volunteers were really lovely, and we all had a brilliant time cheering on the amazing participants.”

What makes this event special?
