It’s up to you how you choose to tackle your Mayday Mile – run, walk, cycle or swim, by yourself or rope in family, friends, colleagues or fellow volunteers. Last year over 4,000 generous supporters signed up to raise over £460,000 between them – could you help us to beat this for 2025?

We know that more people head to the coast during the summer months. And with more people by the water, RNLI lifesavers get even more calls for help. No matter how or where you do your Mayday Mile, every penny or cent you raise will make a lifesaving difference to our crews and the grateful people they rescue.

To sign up, simply head to the Mayday Mile web page. After you’re registered you’ll have a personal fundraising page, which you can share to help support your efforts. As an added incentive, once you reach a £125/€125 fundraising target, you’ll earn a Mayday Mile medal.
