Life is worth Racing for. Enter Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life and raise money for life-saving cancer research.
At just over 2 miles, 3k is ideal for families or groups having a go at their first Race for Life. It's a fun, achievable event for everyone – and an unforgettable day out. There's no pressure to finish in a certain time. Walk, jog or run or make your way around the course however suits you and help fund life-saving cancer research.
The Weston-super-Mare route includes the beach, the Promenade and the Grand Pier. The course is fairly flat over a mixture of terrain and features lovely views of the sea and across Somerset. A great atmosphere and all the fun of the seaside, all in one location.
The start is on the seafront beach, next to Revo Kitchen
