Race for Life Fundraising Ideas
Race for Life is a series of fundraising events run by cancer charity Cancer Research UK.One in two people will develop cancer at some point in their lives, despite survival rates doubling in the last 40 years. It’s a sobering statistic, which is why Race for Life participants sign up to run, jog or walk a 5km or 10km course in return for sponsorship.
More than 400 Race for Life events take place across the UK and are open to everybody. You can sign up for Race for Life 2020 and set up your Race for Life campaign today – or wait until you’ve read through our Race for Life fundraising ideas. The first Race for Life event took place in London’s Battersea Park in 1994. Since then, Race for Life has grown into one of the UK’s biggest fundraising events. To date, more than 8 million people have run Race for Life and raised over £860 million for charity.
