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 course is on pathways but incorporates some inclines and declines. The 10k course is a double lap of the 5k.

Child entry is for children ages 6-15. Children can only be registered (and must be accompanied on the day) by a parent or guardian, or an adult over 18 who has the consent of the child's parent or legal guardian.
Adults who have registered for an event can bring children under the age of 6 free of charge, but they will not be registered participants.
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.
