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.
Tatton Park's 1,000-acre estate offers stunning landscapes and a taste of British heritage and nature. This 3k course is run over a mixture of grass and gravel. Ground conditions are generally very uneven all year round.
