Health and training
Race for Life is for women of all ages and fitness levels. It doesn’t matter how you do the 5k or 10k course. All that counts is that you and thousands of women across the UK are helping to beat cancer.
Training plans and tips
You don't have to be super fit to take part in Race for Life. You can walk, jog or run at your event.
Whether you’re doing a 5k Race for Life or taking the 10k challenge, we've got training plans to support you every step of the way.
How far is 5k?
Most of our Race for Life events are 5k (or just over three miles), which is an achievable distance for all women.
You'd be surprised how easily you can cover the distance. It's not that much further than when you walk your dog, go sightseeing on holiday or on a shopping trip.
How far is 10k?
Why not double the distance and take on the 10k challenge. Anyone can do 10k with a bit of training - find out how far 10k is.
