What to wear at Race for Life
Make sure you look the part at your Race for Life
Tell cancer what you think and send the clearest message yet that cancer will be beaten with our ‘Cancer, we’re coming to get you’ t-shirt.
For more inspiration visit our Race for Life shop and see our fantastic range of T-shirts, accessories and fancy dress for inspiration.
Or visit our Race for Life Facebook page and take a look at the photos some of you have posted.
The basics
Make sure that you have:
- Running number and back sign that you received in your Race for Life pack
- Trainers or comfy shoes, appropriate for walking, running or dancing
- Breathable clothing and a good sports bra
- Sun hat and sunglasses, as well as factor 15+ sunscreen to help protect you from strong sun
- Water to keep hydrated
Fancy dress and finishing touches
Wearing fancy dress or adding some accessories to your Race for Life outfit is totally up to you. We think it's a great way to unite and make the day extra special.
Many women wear fairy wings, feather boas, deely boppers and tutus. Make a night in of it and organise a get-together before your event to plan or design your outfits with friends and family.
