Race for Life is a series of UK-wide women-only fundraising events organised by the British charity Cancer Research UK. The events involve running, jogging or walking a 5-kilometre course and participants are encouraged to raise sponsorship from friends and family for doing so. The money raised is donated to the charity and funds cancer research and campaigns.
The first Race for Life event took place in 1994 when 680 women participated in a race in Battersea Park, London and raised £36,000. Race for Life has subsequently grown to become the UK's largest women-only fundraising event, which in 2006 involved 240 races and 750,000 participants and raised £46 million. Since its inception, Race for Life has raised over £100 million for the charity and involved over 2 million women.
