Race for Life at Home
Race for Life at Home - join our virtual event on 24th April
For a reason to get off the sofa, for stretching our legs. For the people we love, for the people we’ve lost, for the people who’ve had vital cancer treatments delayed. For all these reasons, and a million more, we will Race for Life wherever we are.
Sign up to Race for Life at Home and run, walk or jog 5K to raise money for life-saving cancer research.
How do I take part?
The Race for Life at home is a 5k, which you can run, walk or jog wherever you are. Simply sign up and we will set up your fundraising page, plus send you your fundraising pack and medal in the post.
Once you've signed up, follow these simple steps to get going...

Before you go...
The Race for Life at Home Medal
Cancer Research UK is predicting a £300 million drop in income over the next three years. To ensure as much money as possible goes towards funding life-saving research we are going to be using our 2020 Race for Life medals this year. They’ll serve as a reminder of the year of adversity that you overcame, and your support in helping beat cancer.
