Monster Bike and Hike

You did it!

Maggie's wishes to extend a huge thank you and congratulations to all who took part in the Monster Bike & Hike 2009, whether as a participant, support team or volunteer.

A record number of you took part and we hope to smash our fundraising target, to help even more people affected by cancer. A record number of participants managed to reach Gold at Inverness but whichever distance you completed, we hope you enjoyed your Monster experience and will be back for more next year!

You can now see your finish time (and that of your friends!). Well done everyone! Please be aware that this data is collected and collated manually so is subject to slight human error. We hope that your times are as accurate as possible but we reiterate that Monster is not a race, but a team event, and that every participant's achievement is a huge one. If you do find any inaccuracies in our timings, please let us know and we will be happy to correct them

We will also be asking all partcipants to complete a post-event survey, giving us their valuable thoughts and feelings about the event, to help us make it even bigger and better next year. This will be emailed to you if you were a Monster participant. Please take the time to complete this and return to us. Thankyou.

What is Maggie's Monster Bike & Hike?

Maggie’s Monster Bike & Hike is now in its 6th year and is a 24-hour fundraising team challenge.  The event goes from Fort William through to Inverness covering 73 miles along the Great Glen Way.

Teams of men, women, colleagues, friends and families are all invited to take part.  Teams must be a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 6 and all participants must be over 18 years of age.

Teams will bike 30 miles and can then choose to hike 8 miles to our Bronze finish, 22 miles to our Silver finish or go the whole way and walk 43 miles to our Gold finish!

Maggie’s staff will be on hand throughout the event to provide a smile and support to those taking on the challenge.

So why not get your team together and get registered – it’ll be the highlight of your social calendar in 2009!

Why fundraise for Maggie's?

The fundraising target for Monster Bike & Hike 2009 is £400 per participant and we have based this on what participants have raised in previous years.

Maggie’s provides support to anyone affected by any type of cancer, be they a patient, family member or friend. We provide a free programme of information, psychological support and anxiety reduction to complement medical treatment received at adjacent NHS hospitals. Every penny raised will go straight towards supporting those families, friends and carers who have been touched by cancer in your community.  

We are here at all stages to help you with advice on training and fundraising so get in touch!

We look forward to seeing you on route in May!
