The Mayday Mile Challenge 2025 has now closed.

Thanks to your incredible support, over £313,000 was raised — helping ensure RNLI volunteer crews are always ready to launch when the call for help comes in.

Check back in the new year for details on how to take part in the Mayday Mile Challenge 2026.

You Helped Save Lives This Summer

By taking on the Mayday Mile, you’ve helped make sure RNLI volunteer crews are ready to launch when the calls for help come in.

From families enjoying sunny days at the beach, to watersport enthusiasts making the most of the surf, the coast is far busier during the summer. But because you took on the Mayday Mile, RNLI volunteers are better equipped and ready to respond when the calls for help come this summer.

Every mile you completed, and every donation you inspired, helps ensure the crews can launch at a moment’s notice – to bring someone home safely.

You’re part of every rescue. You’re a lifesaver too.
