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 start and finish gantries are located on a grass field within the showground. The course is predominantly on tarmac paths. It is mostly flat but there a 10m uphill slope halfway round. Some parts of the route involve going onto grass, but an accessible route is available if required.
