We are looking forward to taking on the Race for Life in Bournemouth again this year to raise funds for life-saving cancer research. This will be the third year in a row the clinic has participated after a successful debut in 2023.
The 2025 event takes place on Sunday, 15 June, with 5k and 10k distances available. The Bournemouth course starts in front of the Seafront offices, taking you out along the glorious seafront towards Boscombe Pier before returning to finish at the Seafront offices. On tarmac paths, 5k is an achievable distance and a good first challenge for most people. At just over 3 miles, it can take about an hour to walk on average, but there’s no pressure to finish in a particular time. The most important thing is to have fun!
Every two minutes, someone in the UK is diagnosed with cancer.
Cancer survival in the UK has doubled in the last 40 years, but there is still work to do. Every penny raised can help Cancer Research UK discover new ways to beat cancer and create a future where everybody can live longer, better lives.
Since 1994, more than 10 million people have participated in Race for Life events, raising over £970 million towards life-saving cancer research. With the money, Cancer Research UK has helped develop radiotherapy, which helps 130,000+ people with cancer in the UK every year.
“We’re passionate about supporting events like Race for Life, using physical activity to boost health and wellbeing and raising funds for such an important cause.
Over the past two years, we have raised over £1,500 and had great fun completing the event, along with so many other local people. A massive thank you to everyone who supported us so far. We’re looking forward to another successful event this year and keeping our fingers crossed for a repeat of last year’s glorious sunshine, which brought crowds of local people out to line the route.”
