Have fun. Raise money. Beat cancer. How? Get a group together for Race for Life! Lead the way by becoming a Group Leader and get your family and friends involved.
As Group Leader, your job is to rally your team. We'll even send you a special badge to show everyone you’re in charge.
By fundraising together, you're raising money to help us develop new life-saving treatments that will protect future generations.
Find the event you want to take part in

It’s a movement, it’s a party, it’s a family – and it’s a huge chance to raise the money we need to power our biggest discoveries.
That’s why we ask you to raise a minimum of £50 on top of your entrance fee. The donations from your supporters help save lives.
Set up your Cancer Research UK Giving Page - the easiest way to collect donations.
Get fundraising tips - check out our helpful guides packed full of fundraising ideas.
It’s up to you! Stick together as a group and cheer each other around the course or up the ante with some (friendly!) competition. Just gather your pals and have fun at your own pace.
You don’t even have to all be part of the same event. You can take part in events all over the country and still be part of the same group. It’s a great way to fundraise with friends and family who don’t live nearby.
Remember whatever you do, however far you go, you’re helping to beat cancer.
