Life is worth Racing for. Enter Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life and raise money for life-saving cancer research.
Race for Life 5k is a great first challenge, no matter your age or fitness level. Go solo and join hundreds of people on the day, or sign up as a group with friends and family. There's no pressure to finish in a certain time, so walk, jog or run at your own pace and enjoy the atmosphere! However you take part, you're helping to beat cancer.
The start and finish is on grass. The course loops round Beveridge Park moving between the perimeter pavement and the grass. The route includes some hills which are steep, before passing by the boating lake and play parks.

The start and finish lines are within Beveridge Park, on the field adjacent to Kirkcaldy Rugby Club.

We recommend this event as suitable for wheelchair users with assistance. The majority of the course uses the perimeter park path however some sections are on uneven grass with some inclines, which could make conditions difficult in bad weather. The course can be adapted by keeping to the perimeter path of the park however this will significantly reduce the distance.
We aim for maximum accessibility at our events. Our contact centre and on-site team are ready to assist with any needs or questions you may have.
Sunflower wristbands are available at the enquiries marquee, and our Event Managers are trained Dementia Friends.
