Marathon in a Month is a chance to challenge yourself and fundraise for the Cancer Society.

We believe no one should go through their cancer journey alone. Whether it's driving someone to their treatment, providing advice to someone who has rung our 0800 number, or sitting with them during their treatment - the Cancer Society is there.

This year we're aiming to raise $100,000 through Marathon in a Month to support these services.

But we can't do this without your help.

Sign up as an individual or register as a team to get your friends, family or workplace involved in a worthy cause. Once you've registered, you'll have your own fundraising page you can share online.

Being active is important for the health of you and your whānau and can help reduce the risk of cancer, specifically cancers of the bowel, breast and endometrium (lining of the womb).

Through Marathon in a Month, we're encouraging everyone to get active across the month of November and fundraise to support cancer patients in your community. It only takes 1.4km each day to complete a marathon.

Challenge yourself by taking up a new way of being active, or by going further than you have before - you could aim for 84km or even 120km.

We have over $2000 worth of Rebel Sport gift cards up for grabs as well as accommodation prizes thanks to Woodhouse Mountain Lodge and EBB Dunedin to be won.

Four weeks on from Daffodil Day, we're still feeling incredibly grateful for the support shown by our community. The generosity we've seen from individuals, businesses, schools, volunteers, and fundraisers across the region has been truly inspiring.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps make a meaningful difference. Your support helps cancer patients and their whānau get the care and practical support they need and protects future generations of New Zealanders by helping to fund ground-breaking cancer research.

Most importantly, your generosity brings hope to those facing one of life's toughest challenges. While Daffodil Day may be over for another year, the impact of your support continues every day.

Thank you for standing with us and ensuring that no one has to face cancer alone. 💛

Registrations are now officially open for Marathon in a Month 2026 - are you up for the challenge?

It only takes 1.4km a day of your chosen activity to complete a marathon in a month! Get active and support the Cancer Society - perfect for all ages and fitness levels.

If one marathon isn't enough of a challenge, why not push yourself to do two, or three, or even five!

Taking part in Marathon in a Month and fundraising for the cause directly helps those experiencing cancer in our region.

For Māori Language Week, we're sharing kōrero about rongoā Māori, traditional healing passed down through generations, and how it can sit alongside cancer treatment.

The key thing to know: always talk to your treatment team if you're using or considering rongoā. Some remedies can change how your treatment works, so keeping everyone in the loop keeps you safe.
