Race for Life Crawley is organised by Cancer Research UK and takes place at Tilgate Park in Crawley, West Sussex. The event forms part of the Race for Life series, offering participants the choice of 5K and 10K distances while raising funds for life-saving cancer research.
The courses start and finish on grass at Tilgate Park and follow pathways around Tilgate Lake and the Nature Reserve. The routes include woodland sections, uneven surfaces and some inclines and declines, creating a scenic multi-terrain challenge. The 10K follows two laps of the 5K route, giving runners a longer distance option while maintaining the same picturesque park setting.
The event provides a welcoming and supportive atmosphere for participants of all abilities, with runners able to complete the course at their own pace. With fundraising support, race day encouragement and a community-focused format, Race for Life Crawley offers an accessible way to take part while supporting Cancer Research UK’s work.
