The Race for Life story

Race for Life is the largest women-only fundraising event in the UK. Since 1994, women of all ages and fitness levels across the UK have come together at these inspiring events to walk, jog or run to help beat cancer.

Some of the Race for Life women take part in celebration of surviving a cancer experience. Others take part in memory of a loved   one or to give hope to a cancer-free future. But everybody who takes part shares a common goal: to raise money for Cancer Research UK's groundbreaking work and to help save more lives.

Since Race for Life began an incredible 5.4 million participants across the UK have raised over £362 million to fund the work of over 4,000 researchers, doctors and nurses dedicated to helping more people beat cancer. Find out about the fantastic progress CRUK has made over the years with your support.

This year will be the biggest and brightest Race for Life yet and Funny Women will be there at some of the larger events to make you laugh as well as run!

Tesco has been supporting Cancer Research UK's Race for Life for 10 years. To celebrate, Cancer Research UK will be joining forces to create the biggest, brightest and most inspiring Race for Life yet. This year the goal is to gather one million women to take part in over 300 events across the UK and raise even more money towards Cancer Research UK's life-saving work.
