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.
Set in historic Clumber Park, the 5k course follows wide gravel paths and tarmac roads through ancient woodland. Gentle curves, mature trees and roaming deer create a calm, scenic route in a National Trust setting. The central start and finish area positioned on the grass near the visitor’s centre allows for a welcoming atmosphere and great spectator support.

Once you sign up for your Race for Life event, you'll receive an email with all the need-to-know details to help you feel fully prepared for the day.
The start and finish lines are on the front field closest to the Visitor Centre.
Please note there is limited to no phone signal within the park itself so it is advisable to arrange a meeting point prior.
