About the 5k event
The original and most popular Race for Life event, the 5k is an entry-level distance and an achievable first challenge for most. At just over 3 miles it can take about an hour to complete on average, but there's no pressure to finish in a certain time. Walk, jog, run or make your way around the course however suits you to fund life-saving research.
On the day
Take part in a group or go solo
Take part as an individual or in a group and have fun raising money for life-saving research. You can walk, jog or run, going at your own pace, or lead the way as a Group Leader getting family, friends and colleagues involved! However you choose to Race, you will be helping to beat cancer.
Warm up with other participants
Get moving just before you begin your Race for Life event with a live and interactive warm up session.
Supporters and spectators welcome
Spectators are very welcome on the day to cheer you on! The more the merrier.
Soak up the atmosphere
After you've completed the course, why not make a day of it with other participants, friends and family, and have a picnic in the park.
While your entry fee covers the cost of your event, it's the money you raise that will fund vital research and see more people surviving cancer.

Parking
Due to the undulating terrain of the course and the whole route being on grass and woodland paths, we would not reccomend this event for wheelchair users.
The car park located at the venue has disabled parking available.
If spectating, the event site, the course and the car park is mostly on grass, so those with accessibility issues may require assistance on the uneven surfaces.
If you require any further information on the accessibility of a Race for Life event or wish to bring a carer/assistant to accompany you or if you need to bring a guide runner, please contact our Supporter Hotline on 0300 123 0770 and press 1 when prompted (Opening hours are 8am - 6pm Monday to Friday) or email us at raceforlife@cancer.org.uk .
