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 grass area to your right as you enter Broadwalk by the Espresso Bar. The course is on flat pathways around the Outer Circle. The 10k Course is a double lap of the 5k Course.

The start and finish is on the Eastern Side of Regent's Parks.
