Residents in Cheltenham have less than a week remaining to secure half-price entry for the upcoming Race for Life 10k event. Organised by Cancer Research UK, the event will take place at Cheltenham Racecourse on 28 June 2026.
Participants can use the promotional code SPRING26 to receive a 50 per cent discount on registration fees. This offer is valid until 19 April 2026. Without the discount, the standard adult entry fee is £17.49. The event is open to adults and children aged 16 and over, with each participant encouraged to meet a minimum fundraising target of £50.
The race at the Cheltenham venue is part of a series featuring 147 events across the United Kingdom between May and July 2026. On the day of the event, the course will offer free parking for all attendees, including designated spaces for Blue Badge holders. Access to the start line will be managed through Gate 21, located approximately 100 metres from the parking area.
The event supports the broader work of the charity, which has raised £250 million towards its £400 million goal for the More Research, Less Cancer campaign as of February 2026. While the charity is currently undergoing a restructure of its retail operations, including planned shop closures, the Race for Life series continues to serve as a key part of its community fundraising efforts.
