Life is worth Racing for. Enter Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life and raise money for life-saving cancer research.
Race for Life 10k is a more challenging event, but without any pressure. Take it at your own pace and enjoy the atmosphere, or push yourself a little more. The events are chip-timed, so you can find out if you’ve beaten your personal best! Sign up as a group with friends and family, or go solo and join hundreds of people on the day. However you take part, you’re helping to beat cancer.
The start and finish are on the grass area adjacent to Arrow Valley Park car park next to the leisure centre. The course is on a mixture of terrain. The 10k course is a double lap of the 5k route that runs along the woodland areas, lake and fields of Arrow Valley Park.
