Military vs Cancer Field Gun Pull – John O’Groats to Land’s End - 1st September to 31 October 2025
Commencing 01 September 2025, teams of volunteers totalling 1300 military and veteran personnel will take on the extraordinary challenge of pulling a 1-ton Field Gun all the way from John O’Groats to Land’s End – over 1,000 miles on foot – to raise funds and awareness for Military vs Cancer.
This epic endurance event will honour our Armed Forces community, raise vital funds for those affected by cancer, and inspire support across the UK as we travel through towns, villages, and cities.

Cancer affects so many within the Armed Forces community, whether serving, veterans, or their families.
