Getting ready for event day
Anyone can take part in our events - all you need to do is join online, fundraise and turn up on the day!
Easy ways to prepare for your event
If you're taking part in a 10k and you want to get into the spirit of things beforehand, you can start walking more in the run-up to your event with our top tips:
1. Go for a short 15 minute walk - Try a short 15 minute walk every other day - why not walk the kids to school or leave the car behind when you pop to the shops?
2. Extend your activities - Take the dog for longer walks, or get off the bus a stop or two early.
3. Take a Sunday stroll - Gather the family together for a nice long Sunday stroll in the countryside! For maximum impact, try to do this a few times before your event.
4. Measure your success - Remember, even walking around the shops counts. Why not invest in a pedometer to see how far you're going? Or check your phone, most smartphones have inbuilt step trackers.
5. On the day - It's time for your event! Take it easy this week in preparation.
Want to run?
There's absolutely no pressure to run any of our events, but if that's something you'd like to do you're free to.
If you're not a seasoned runner, we recommend following a good plan like the one published by the NHS to get ready.
Joining a 5k?
If you're taking part in a 5k event, you don't need to do any training beforehand.
Our courses are designed so that people from all ages, backgrounds and abilities can come together to raise money to beat cancer.
