Race for Life 10k is a more challenging event, but without any pressure. Take it at your own pace and enjoy the atmosphere, or push yourself a little more. The events are chip-timed, so you can find out if you’ve beaten your personal best! Sign up as a group with friends and family, or go solo and join hundreds of people on the day. However you take part, you’re helping to beat cancer.
The start and finish are on the open green next to the Rugby Club. The course is entirely on grass and is a relatively flat route around Stoke Park. the 10k is a double lap of the 5k route.
