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 course is on a mixture of terrains as it goes around the Italian Gardens, Lake and through the woodland.The course is fairly flat, however there is one steep hill and a small section through the woodland.
There will not be any water refill stations along the course so if you require water during the event, please remember to bring your own reusable water bottle already filled up. A Scottish Power water refill station will be available to use at the finish.
Please arrive 30 to 45mins before your start time so that you are prepared and ready to go on time.
Our courses have been measured with a measuring wheel. This is the most accurate measurement method and may not always match up with fitbits, strava and Apple watches. Remember to follow the route carefully and don't cut corners as that will alter the distance you cover!
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.
Course: We would advise that the route is mostly flat and on paths, so is suitable for wheelchair users with assistance. However, there is a steep hill around the lake and a small section in the Woodland. There are a couple of grass sections that would be unsuitable if we had poor weather. In this case the course would be slightly shorter.
