Are you ready for the Race for Life event in Crawley?

And this year for the first time, men, women and children are being invited to join in at Tilgate Park this Saturday (June 22) and Sunday (June 23).

The charity is urging mums, dads, nans, grandpas, brothers, sisters, friends and workmates to show their support by joining the Race for Life.

It’s a perfect example of everyday people doing an extraordinary thing – uniting in a common cause to beat cancer.

Last year over the weekend, more than 2,500 women and girls took part and raised a total of £206,000.

In Crawley, there will be the choice to join the 5k or the 10k on the 22nd June or Pretty Muddy 5k, Pretty Muddy 10k or Pretty Muddy Kids on the 23rd June.

Race for Life Pretty Muddy is our brilliant muddy obstacle course which will have you scrambling over the A-frame and crawling through the mud pit.

The kids love this one too, and with a supervising adult can join Pretty Muddy Kids which will see them having fun with friends, all the while helping to raise valuable funds for life-saving research.
