Go ‘all in’ against cancer at Race for Life Scarborough
People are being invited to go ‘all in’ against cancer this spring by signing up for Race for Life in Scarborough.
Cancer Research UK’s much-loved events, which raise funds for life-saving research, are returning to the town. Anyone who signs up before Sunday, April 19 can claim 50 per cent off the entry fee as part of a special sale by using the code SPRING26.
Money raised at Race for Life enables scientists to find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer – to bring about a world where everybody lives longer, better lives, free from the fear of cancer.
The Race for Life 3k, 5k and 10k events take place at the Sealife Centre, Scalby Mills Road, Scarborough on Wednesday, May 20.
People of all ages and abilities are welcome.
Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life raises millions of pounds every year across the UK to help beat cancer by funding crucial research.
Annabel Underwood, Cancer Research UK’s spokesperson in North Yorkshire, said: “It’s time for Scarborough to go all in against cancer, all in to help fund life-saving research.
“Sadly nearly 1 in 2 of us will get cancer in our lifetime but all of us can support the research that will beat it. Spring is an ideal time to commit to getting more active as the days get a little warmer.
“We’d love for as many people as possible across Scarborough and North Yorkshire to join us. Race for Life powers progress and it relies on a whole community of people coming together, united by a common purpose to beat cancer. Whether you’re a five-a-side crew, book club, dance troupe, yoga club, fancy doing something with your friends- or on your own – we want everyone to join us.
“For those who do enjoy a challenge, our 10k events will again be chip timed, perfect for anyone wanting to track their progress or aim for a personal best. But Race for Life is non-competitive. People can walk, jog or run and go at their own pace. What matters is showing up together. There is a race for everyone and we mean everyone.”
