Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life in Bournemouth
The Race for Life 5km & 10km takes place on The Seafront in Bournemouth on Sunday 14th June 2026 and is open to people of all ages and abilities.
Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life is an inspiring series of 5k, 10k, Pretty Muddy and Pretty Muddy Kids events which raise millions of pounds every year to help beat cancer by funding crucial research.
Cancer Research UK receives no Government funding for its ground-breaking research.That’s why money raised through the Race for Life events is vital. It funds world-class research to help beat 200 types of cancer – including bowel cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, testicular cancer, brain cancer, children’s cancers and leukaemia.
