The Nottingham Race for Life 5K takes place at Victoria Embankment, bringing together runners, walkers and families to support Cancer Research UK. Open to all abilities, the event encourages participants to complete the distance at their own pace while raising funds for life saving cancer research.
Set alongside the River Trent, the 5K course follows a predominantly flat route with a mixture of surfaces, making it suitable for first time participants as well as regular runners. The scenic riverside setting and welcoming atmosphere create an enjoyable experience for everyone taking part.
Part of the nationwide Race for Life series, the event focuses on participation, community spirit and fundraising rather than competition. Combining an attractive riverside location with support for an important cause, the Nottingham Race for Life 5K remains a popular fixture in the local events calendar.
