5k (or just over three miles) is an achievable distance for all ages and abilities. You can run, walk or even dance your way around the courses.
We have almost 200 5k Race for Life events across the UK so there is bound to be one close by where you can show cancer who’s boss. To take part in a 5k, simply enter as an individual. If you'd like to enter more people at the same time as registering yourself, you'll need to enter as a group.
I race for my beautiful 7 year-old niece, Lauryn, who has a combination of Burkitt’s non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. She is battling hard through chemotherapy and surgery, and she continues to amaze me every day with her positive attitude. She’s still smiling after everything, but the statistics and prognosis for Lauryn are difficult to get as her cancer is so rare. I believe she's still here thanks to current medical advances, and Race for Life helps to fund the research needed to help children like my niece.
