Massive Top 25 rankings<\/a> by raising \u00a335m in 2025, a \u00a32m decline on the previous year.<\/p>\nThe rest of the top five events \u2013 Movember, Kiltwalk and Macmillan\u2019s Coffee Morning and Mighty Hikes events \u2013 were also unchanged from the year before.<\/p>\n
Walking events rose in prominence last year, accounting for 35% of all income across the Massive Top 25, with long-distance walks surging in particular. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Alzheimer\u2019s Society\u2019s Trek26 grew income by 41% year-on-year to \u00a37.3m, while Macmillan\u2019s Mighty Hikes grew by 30% \u00a314.7m and Cancer Research UK\u2019s Big Hike increased by 35% to \u00a31.9m.<\/p>\n
Virtual events continued to decline in the rankings, with only Cancer Research UK\u2019s Walk 30 Miles among the top 20.<\/p>\n
Three events that had been in the list for more than a decade \u2013 Relay for Life, Sober October and Brave the Shave \u2013 dropped out last year.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, there were six new entries, more than in any year outside the pandemic, including Action Medical Research\u2019s Race the Sun, which raised \u00a31.4m.<\/p>\n
Among the 25, 16 grew their income year-on-year, four remained flat, and five saw declines.<\/p>\n
John Tasker, partner at Massive, said: \u201cDespite some of the bigger events slowing this year, reporting a fourth consecutive year of growth for events fundraising, with six new entries, one re-entry and eight events growing income by 30% or more in a single year, demonstrates the resilience of events as a way to engage supporters through both good and more challenging times.\u201d<\/p>\n
