Running for charity
Join our team of thousands of supporters who run for Cancer Research UK and raise money towards our vital research work. This is a fantastic opportunity, so please join us!
You can run in many events on behalf of Cancer Research UK but please note that Cancer Research UK does not organise all of these events.
Choose a running event
See our running events page for a complete list of events. We offer a choice of national and international marathons, half marathons, 10k runs and 5k runs, including our famous Race for Life and Cancer Research UK 10k, as well as other distances.
If you HAVE a place in an event but have NOT chosen a charity
Please choose us and help to raise money for this vital cause. Just complete our sponsorship pack request form and we will send you a Cancer Research UK fundraising pack including a T-shirt or vest to wear on the day.
You can then set up your own online sponsorship page. It's the easiest way to fundraise, and a great way for friends and family to sponsor you.
If you DO NOT HAVE a place but would like to run for us
Thank you for choosing Cancer Research UK. Please complete our entry information request form and we will email you all the information you need.
