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 are on the large grassed area in front of Himley Hall. The course is on a mix of terrain with some sections on paths and some on grass fields. The course is very flat with one incline. The course passes the lake and Himley Hall itself.
