Did you know that people who link Fitbit or Strava to their Giving Page fundraise over two times more than those who don't? Connect your account today to keep others up to date on your progress after every training session.
- Ask your friends and family to sponsor you a set amount per mile e.g. £10 per mile
- Host a bake sale in your local community
- Build a playlist for your Race for Life and ask for a suggested donation per song request from your sponsors
- Host a workout or practice loop around the park for your friends and family, this is great for your training!
Your entry fee can't beat cancer. Only you can.

Whilst your entry fee covers the cost of your event, it's those valuable donations that will help save lives – which is why we ask our participants to raise a minimum of £50.
