The former Top Gear and Question of Sport host, 51, has raised nearly £5.9m during his five-day journey from Wrexham to Glasgow
McGuinness's fundraising total will rise significantly after Scottish businessman and philanthropist Sir Tom Hunter said he would double any donations made from Wednesday onwards, up to a £3m limit.
Last year, another Radio 2 presenter, Vernon Kay, raised more than £5m for Children in Need after completing his ultra-marathon.
The DJ ran from Leicester to Bolton - a distance of 116 miles - over four days.
Children in Need is the BBC's charity for disadvantaged children and young people across the UK.
It has raised more than £1bn for charities and projects since its first major appeal in 1980.
