Cancer Research UK Oxford Race for Life event
Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life is a series of fundraising events in the UK. Race for Life events are fantastic fun for adults of all ages and fitness levels. The 5k, 3K or 10k Race for Life events raise money for Cancer Research UK's life-saving work.

Race For Life events simply could not happen without wonderful volunteers like you. Not only will you be supporting an event for the local community, but you will be ensuring the charity can raise as much money as possible for life saving research.

We have been offered 5 free places in the 10k run (no guarantee that these will be chip timed) in exchange for helping with the post-event pack down. Let Anwen know if you would like one of the 5 running spots. Not everyone has to run, and those that don’t can help during the race too.

If you would like to help out you must register at the CR volunteer webpage here and add in 'GoodGym' in the organisation section.

The run starts at 9:30am, so please arrive by 8:30 to check in as a volunteer and collect your run bib.

The run:
The course is entirely flat and begins in the University Parks, where you will head out down Longwall Street, High Street, then proceeding under the Bridge of Sighs and along Parks Road, you will then re-enter the Park at Norham Gardens. The course is a double lap.

Please remember to bring your own water and any snacks you need post-run.
