The course takes in the whole of Stoneleigh Park and is on a mixture of tarmac paths and grass. Due to the nature of the venue, the route does involve some hills, lumps, bumps, twists and turns and all adds to the challenge and fun.
You can take part in any Race for Life event as an individual or a group to raise money for life-saving research. Walk, jog or run together in a group or go solo at your own pace, or lead the way as a Group Leader and get family, friends and colleagues involved! However you choose to get muddy, you’re helping to beat cancer.

You fundraise, we discover
More than 10 million of you have taken part in Race for Life events since 1994, fundraising for Cancer Research UK.
Race for Life has raised over £970 million towards life-saving cancer research since it began 30 years ago.
With your money, we’ve helped develop radiotherapy, which helps 130,000+ people with cancer in the UK every year.
“Race for Life was an inspiring, uplifting, memorable day”
“Race for Life was an inspiring, uplifting, memorable day surrounded by so many wonderful people each with their own story of how cancer has affected their lives. For me, having my best friend facing stage 4 cancer, the toughest fight of her life all I can do is support her and do what I can to make that journey less daunting and lonely. Race For Life brought people together and with Viv starting the race off, showed the support, care and compassion from the community – it was amazing!”
