The Bath Race for Life 5K takes place in Royal Victoria Park and is organised by Cancer Research UK. This welcoming charity event encourages participants of all ages and abilities to walk, jog or run the 5K while raising vital funds for life saving cancer research.
The course starts and finishes in Royal Victoria Park before following a scenic route on paved paths and roads through the park and around the historic Royal Crescent. The route includes a mixture of tarmac, paved paths and short grass sections, with a few gentle inclines adding variety to the picturesque setting.
The event provides a friendly and supportive atmosphere where participants can complete the course at their own pace. Well organised facilities, accessible routes and the opportunity to support an important cause have made the Bath Race for Life 5K a popular fixture in the city's summer events calendar.
