Relay For Life brings you and your town together to help beat cancer.
Throughout the year, teams fundraise in their local communities to support the work of Cancer Research UK. Then everyone comes together in an inspiring overnight celebration and commemoration that the whole community can be part of.
Relay events focus on fun for all the family, regardless of age or fitness level – everyone is welcome!
On the day of the Relay
At the event everybody gathers at their local race track, park or sports field and take turns walking laps. Each team keeps at least one member on the track at all times, while all around them a party is in full swing.
Relay events have a friendly, festival-like atmosphere that the whole family can enjoy. Camping, music, stalls and entertainment will be laid on, and many of the teams taking part camp overnight.
Every Relay For Life lasts 12 to 24 hours, runs overnight and includes a Survivors' Lap of Honour and a moving Candle of Hope ceremony.
