Life is worth Racing for. Enter Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life and raise money for life-saving cancer research.
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 course follows paved paths around the park with some parts taking place on grassy areas. The 10k course is a double lap of the 5k course.

The start and finish line is in the QE11 outdoor arena within Town Park, opposite the Visitor Centre.
