Life is worth Racing for. Enter Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life and raise money for life-saving cancer research.
Looking for more of a challenge without any pressure? Race for Life 10k is for you! Our 10k events are now chip-timed, so you can find out if you’ve beaten your personal best – while you’re raising funds to help beat cancer. 10k is just over 6 miles. Take it at your own pace or push yourself a little more. Have fun with it and enjoy the atmosphere.
The start and finish is in the Grand Ring near Farmers Fayre.
The course takes in the whole of Stoneleigh Park and is on a mixture of tarmac paths and grass. Due to the nature of the venue, the route does involve some hills, lumps, bumps, twists and turns and all adds to the challenge and fun.
The 10K route is a double lap of the 5k route.
Please remember to bring your own water bottle already filled as there will be no bottled water provided at events. There will be a water refill station half way around the course and a ScottishPower water refill station will be available to use at the finish.
Please arrive 30 to 45mins before your start time so that you are prepared and ready to go on time.
Our courses have been measured with a measuring wheel. This is the most accurate measurement method and may not always match up with fitbits, strava and Apple watches.
You can take part in any Race for Life event as an individual or a group to raise money for life-saving research. Walk, jog or run together in a group or go solo at your own pace, or lead the way as a Group Leader and get family, friends and colleagues involved! However you choose to take part, you’re helping to beat cancer.
Shake off any pre-Race nerves and get moving with our fun warm-up session just before your event.
Bring along as many supporters as you like to cheer you on! We’ve got things for everyone to do, check out the Location section above to see what’s happening on the day.
After you've completed the course, stay on and celebrate with other participants, friends and family with a picnic in the park.

Event Site: The start and finish areas are both on the same grass field with sand paths surrounding it. Course: Our recomendation is that this event is accessible for wheelchair users with assistance. The majority of the course is on well maintained paths with a 1km section on grass. If the weather is poor the grass section may become unsuitable. In this instance Course Marshals will advise of an alternative route, this will reduce the distance by approx. 1km.
Carers are welcome free of charge.
