Life is worth Racing for. Enter Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life and raise money for life-saving cancer research.
The 5k is an achievable distance and a good first challenge for most people. At just over 3 miles it can take about an hour to walk on average, but there's no pressure to finish in a certain time. Go at your own pace to help fund life-saving cancer research.
Please remember to bring your own water bottle already filled as there will be no bottled water provided at events. ScottishPower water refill stations will be available to use.
The Hartlepool route is a single lap course along the coastline at Seaton Carew. The route is mainly along the promenade path and Coronation Drive, however a small section at the start and end of the course is on uneven grass. The main event site is on grass so may be slightly muddy underfoot depending on recent weather.
Please arrive 30 to 45 minutes before your start time so that you are prepared and ready to go on time.

You can take part in any Race for Life event as an individual or a group to raise money for life-saving research. Walk, jog or run together in a group or go solo at your own pace, or lead the way as a Group Leader and get family, friends and colleagues involved! However you choose to take part, you’re helping to beat cancer.
Shake off any pre-Race nerves and get moving with our fun warm-up session just before your event.

We recommend this event is suitable for wheelchair users with assistance due to some narrow pinch points along the promenade path and the uneven grass at the start and end of the course. The event site, start and end of the course is on uneven grass which could make conditions difficult in bad weather.
