Residents offered 'special' entry fee for popular Cancer Research UK event

A cancer charity is offering residents a special discount to kickstart the new year and enter one of its much-loved events.

Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life returns to the Royal Windsor Racecourse on June 1 with 3k, 5k and 10k events open to all ages and abilities.

Also included is the 5k mud-splattered obstacle course, Pretty Muddy, which has an option available for kids too. 

Elisa Mitchell Cancer Research UK’s spokesperson for Berkshire said: “No matter how cancer affects us, life is worth racing for.  

“Sadly nearly 1 in 2 of us will get cancer in our lifetime but Race for Life has the power not only to transform lives, but to save them. We’re proud that Race for Life has already helped double survival rates in the UK.   

“We’d love for as many people as possible across Windsor and Slough and beyond to join us at Race for Life. There is a race for everyone, and we mean everyone. Walk, jog, run or take on the course however it suits best. It’s a chance to feel the power of moving together with fellow Race for Lifers and have fun with it.  

“January is the perfect time to commit to getting a little more active. Whether people are living with cancer, taking part in honour of or in memory of a loved one with cancer, in it for the medals or just for the fun of fundraising, there is a place for everyone.”  

Anyone who joins in January can claim 50 per cent off the entry fee as part of a special ‘early bird’ sale by using the code RACE24NY.

Since 1994, more than 10 million people have taken part in Race for Life, and the money raised has helped develop radiotherapy which benefits more than 130,000 people with cancer in the UK every year.
