The Route

A fast, flat course that is popular with runners sees the start at the Chester Racecourse before heading out through the Walls into the City of Chester where history is literally all around you. Runners can expect a crescendo of noise as they head to the finish line, located outside the Town Hall – right in the heart of the city!

Apply For Your Free Place

We have a number of free and subsidised places available. All we ask is that you try to raise some sponsorship funds in support of Run 4 Cancer. We set very low minimum sponsorship funds and fully understand that the cost of living crisis is impacting people’s ability to sponsor people.

Run 4 Cancer - About Us

Set up by a team of running enthusiasts, all of whom have lost a family member or a friend to cancer, Run 4 Cancer is primarily a provider of days out and short-breaks for British families affected by cancer. We give families something to look forward to during the most difficult of times. We also make grants to UK based care institutions and support research into the positive effects of exercise (e.g. running) and how it can help with cancer prevention and recovery. Find out more about us here.

Helping Families Living With Cancer

By joining Run 4 Cancer you will be directly helping families affected by cancer.
With your help we can help many more families like this. Thank you.

“With a sick child, everything is governed by their health; it's a cloud that's permanently hanging over us. We couldn't do this sort of thing normally. Thank you!”

Susan Mother

“Two weeks before the trip my PSA reading had reached 28. After our holiday my reading is now 10.8!”

Peter Patient

“Being diagnosed with cancer was an extremely stressful time. After the chemo and radiotherapy it was a pleasure to have something to look forward to.”

Anne-Marie Patient

“These days out for all the family to enjoy mean so much to us as we have to spend so much time apart. Thank you again for all you do in support of families like ours.”

Nick Father

“Thank you for making the difference to the lives of children that have had to cope with things that no one should have to go through, let alone young kids.”

Karen Mother

“It is impossible for people not in our situation to understand just how precious the memories of such a great day can be.”

David Father

“For a week I swam and did things I never ever thought I would do again. I did not think about cancer for more than a fleeting moment the whole week.”

Liz Patient

“I have been through a very rough year finding out I had secondary cancer. Today was a day off from cancer. Many many thanks, it was brilliant!”
