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 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.
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 located in the QE11 Arena with tarmac paths surrounding it.
Course: The event starts and finishes on grass with the majority of the route taking place on a mixture of paths and grass. There are a few inclines during the course, so anyone with accessibility requirements may want assistance on the uneven sections.
We aim for maximum accessibility at our events. Our contact centre and on-site team are ready to assist with any needs or questions you may have.
Sunflower lanyards are available at the enquiries marquee, and our Event Managers are trained Dementia Friends.
