Wherever you are, whatever your fitness level you decide where, when and how to complete your challenge.

‘I was diagnosed in September 2016 with relapsing-remitting MS. I started running to erase MS—it keeps me strong, and I’ll do anything to help raise money for a cure.’ - Julie (2025 Ambassador)
The May 50K is back!
We are excited to announce that our global fitness and fundraising challenge, The May 50K is back for another year. The May 50K is a virtual challenge that invites participants to Roll, Walk or Run 50 kilometres throughout the month of May, whilst raising vital funds for people affected by MS.
Wherever you live, whatever your fitness level, you can decide when and where to complete The May 50K. Whether you’re pushing your limits or taking it one step at a time, every kilometre counts towards reaching our vision of a world without MS.
A united front
This year the challenge is bigger than ever. We are thrilled to welcome Multiple Sclerosis South Africa (MSSA) to the challenge. We are also joined by our returning member organisations, MS Society (UK), MS Ireland, Deutsche Multiple Sklerose Gesellschaft (Germany), and Stichting MS Research (Netherlands). Together, we’re making an even bigger impact in the MS community worldwide.
Last year, over 9000 participants across 49 countries joined the challenge, helping us raise an astonishing £878,000. These funds support both national MS projects in participating countries and global initiatives led by MSIF.
