Life is worth Racing for. Enter Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life and raise money for life-saving cancer research.
The 5k is an achievable distance and a good first challenge for most people. At just over 3 miles it can take about an hour to walk on average, but there's no pressure to finish in a certain time. Go at your own pace to 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
