March for Migraine
March for Migraine 2026 is here! Move 100 miles in a month and help change lives
This March, we’re calling on you to be part of something amazing. March for Migraine is your chance to walk, run, cycle or wheel 100 miles across the month of March, all while raising vital funds for The Migraine Trust. However you move, wherever you are, every mile you complete helps transform the lives of people living with debilitating migraine.
You can break your miles down however works for you – a little each day or big weekend efforts. Go solo, team up with friends and neighbours, or get your workplace involved. Walk it. Run it. Cycle it. Wheel it. Your challenge, your way.
It was the getting out there and doing it - it really has helped my migraine, and this group has been inspiring.
Why March for Migraine?
Migraine is one of the most common and disabling neurological conditions in the world – yet it’s still misunderstood and underfunded. By taking part, you’ll be helping The Migraine Trust provide trusted information, fund research, and campaign for better awareness, treatment and support. Every mile you move helps push the migraine community forward.
Registering for the event is completely free – we just ask you to raise £100 (or as much as you can) along the way.
Plus, when you join March for Migraine, you’ll receive:
- Your own personalised fundraising page – easy to share and simple to smash your £100 target
- An exclusive ‘March for Migraine’ t-shirt once you’ve raised £15 on your fundraising page
- Access to our dedicated March for Migraine Facebook Group – connect with fellow challengers, share progress and stay motivated
- Training tips and fundraising advice sent throughout the month to help you go further
- Ongoing support and encouragement from The Migraine Trust team and community. We’ll be with you every step (and mile) of the way!
March for Migraine is inclusive and flexible, so you can adapt the challenge to suit your ability, lifestyle and health. Whether you’re a fitness fanatic or starting from scratch, every mile counts. And if 100 miles feels like a bit of a stretch, don’t worry – just do what you can…being part of the team is all that matters!
This challenge has got me moving and I do feel better for it. These days due to my migraine I can barely get out of bed some days. Although, I miss how I used to push my body I am starting to become comfortable with where I am at the minute. This group has made me feel less alone with this condition.
