Milton Keynes Festival of Running

The MK Festival of running is an annual event hosted in Central Milton Keynes. Every year, thousands of participants come together over their love for running, and choose either a 5K, 10K, Half Marathon or 20 Mile run.
For the 2nd year, YMCA Milton Keynes are a chosen charity partner, and we are so grateful to the festival for helping us support the young people in Milton Keynes at risk of homelessness. As a charity partner, we are putting together a team of runners to support us by raising funds to help our young residents. It’s free to run for us, however we would ask that if you are running a 5K or 10K, you aim to raise a minimum of £50. For the half marathon or 20 mile race, we ask all runners to aim to raise a minimum of £100.
YMCA Milton Keynes will be hosting a massage bench area to reduce that post run sore! Make sure you pop over and see us.
The event is on the 16th March 2025, and starts at 09:50AM.

Rotary MK Swimathon

Do you love swimming or want to get involved in your local community? YMCA Milton Keynes has the perfect opportunity for you!

We are thrilled to announce that YMCA Milton Keynes will participate in the Rotary MK Swimathon. We need 18 enthusiastic individuals to join our teams and support our cause.

Event Details:

Date: 22nd February 2025
Time: 11:00 – 13:30
Location: Wolverton Swimming & Fitness Centre

The Rotary MK Swimathon is an annual fun day that has raised over half a million pounds for local charities since 1994. We are excited to be part of this amazing event in 2025. As a swimmer for Team YMCA, we ask that you pledge to fundraise to help us support young people in Milton Keynes at risk of homelessness.

Not a fan of swimming, but still want to be involved? No worries! We also need volunteers to act as ‘clickers’ to keep track of the laps our swimmers complete.

How it works:

The teams will be split into 6 swimmers, and you will swim for 55 minutes in a relay style. When the claxon sounds, a swimmer from one end of the pool swims a length and then tags the swimmer waiting at the other end.

The clicker will count each time a swimmer touches the end of the pool, calculating how many lengths have been swum in the 55 minutes

Interested in swimming for us?
