Race for Life Schools
Let's teach cancer a lesson
Join schools across the country supporting Cancer Research UK and hold your own Race for Life Schools event.
Race for Life Schools is free to take part and easy to organise. We'll send you an event pack with everything you need to hold your own event. You'll also receive your own online Giving Page so you can pay in your fundraising and have it automatically returned to Cancer Research UK.
You choose the date, location and distance. Whether you're just one class or the whole school. Running 1k or walking 3k. By bringing your pupils and teachers together, we will beat cancer.
Race for Life Primary Schools
Your pupils can fundraise today to help save lives tomorrow.

You can help us reach 3 in 4 people surviving cancer by 2034.
