Race for Life is organised by Cancer Research UK, a charity that is close to many people's hearts. Now in its 16th year, it's proved to be a hugely successful fundraiser. Women of all ages and fitness levels are encouraged to take part.

Event Details

Race for Life is a 5km women-only event and it's hoped that the three events will raise in excess of Β£500,000.

You don’t have to run the Race for Life, the event is open to all fitness types, so you can walk or jog around the course, if you wish. You can do it on your own or with a group.

Race for Life started in 1994 at Battersea Park where 680 women took part and raised Β£36,000. This year there are 230 races across the UK and so far 240 million pounds have been raised!

Over 790 people are diagnosed with cancer every day in the UK, 70 alone in the Yorkshire and Humber region.

The closing date for all entries is three days before the race, however as most races fill long before this, it is important to enter as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
