Since it started in 1994, Race for Life has grown to become the UK's biggest women-only fundraising event. All the money raised by our participants helps fund the crucial work of Cancer Research UK, the world's leading independent organisation dedicated to cancer research.
 
So far, over two million women of all ages have run, walked or jogged to raise over £140 million in sponsorship for the charity. This year they hope to raise £60 million for life-saving work by bringing an amazing 800,000 women together to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
When the Weald and Downland run took place the number already entered in races throughout the UK was over 636,000.
