Life is worth Racing for. Enter Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life and raise money for life-saving cancer research.
Race for Life 3k is ideal for families or groups doing their first Race for Life. It's a fun, achievable and an unforgettable day out! Sign up as a group with friends and family, or go solo and join hundreds of people on the day. 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 route starts at Les Jardins de la Mer, leading runners along the waterfront to Elizabeth Marina before looping back onto the promenade towards St Aubin. After reaching the turnaround point, participants follow the scenic shoreline path back to Les Jardins de la Mer. Enjoy stunning coastal views and a smooth, welcoming course ideal for all abilities, creating a memorable coastal challenge for everyone.
