Race For Life
Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life is a series of women-only events raising money for research into all 200 types of cancer.
Over the past 20 years, more than 8 million women have taken part in Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life, raising over £547 million to fund the charity’s life-saving work. But it does not stop there.
There are lots of ways to be part of Race for Life:
5k events
5k (or just over 3 miles) is an achievable distance for all ages and abilities. You can take part however you like and choose to run, jog or walk your way around the course.
10k events
10k (or just over 6 miles) may sound a little daunting but is an achievable challenge for anyone with a bit of training. If you’ve taken on one of our 5k events before then this is a great distance to try and push yourself further.
Pretty Muddy events
Pretty Muddy® isn’t like any other fundraising event. It is a muddy obstacle course that women of any ability can climb over, crawl under, and charge through to show cancer that hell hath no fury like a woman in pink.
Half or full Marathon
The Race for Life Half and full Marathon events are the perfect challenge for women who have always wanted to try a long-distance running event but have been worried about how to start and not having any support.
Our events are not competitive so you can take part however you want - whether you run, jog or walk parts of the course, it’s up to you - and we'll be with you every step of the way.
Hike
Race for Life Hikes are a series of one-day, long-distance walking events, taking place at iconic locations up and down the country.
If you love walking in the great outdoors and want to show cancer who’s boss then this is the event for you.
Sign up now and let’s show cancer that hell hath no fury like a woman in pink.
