Race for Life Margate 5K is organised by Cancer Research UK and takes place at Palm Bay in Margate. The event brings together participants of all abilities to raise funds for life saving cancer research, with runners, joggers and walkers all taking part at their own pace in a supportive community atmosphere.
The 5K course follows a reasonably flat route with a mixture of grass and tarmac, offering attractive coastal scenery along the Margate seafront. The varied terrain and open seaside setting create an enjoyable route while remaining accessible to a wide range of participants.
Marshals and event staff help ensure a well organised race day, with refreshments and toilets available on site. The event welcomes pushchairs and dogs, offers wheelchair accessibility with assistance and provides a friendly atmosphere that has made Race for Life a popular fixture in the local calendar.
