The inspiring Race For Life event is back in Salisbury on Sunday 15th August, and there is still time to sign up.

Love Salisbury and Salisbury Radio are honoured and proud to be working with organisers who are raising money for Cancer Research UK.

The event will take place at Hudson’s Field, with the race kicking off at 11am.

Vikki Turner, event organiser said: “Wow – we are finally almost here! It will have been a grand total of 461 days since our 2020 event season that should have started last May. I am so excited to get back out in a field doing what we do best Sunday with our very first event in Salisbury.

“Things are looking a little different for 2021 to keep the participants, spectators and staff all safe, but I'm so looking forward to welcoming you back.

“There’s still time to sign up, and don’t forget despite the name ‘Race for Life' we absolutely want you to take this at your own pace. The Race for Life series is open to people of all genders, ages, abilities and backgrounds to take part. You can still sign up online until the day before – we would love to see you there.”

You can still sign up for either the 5 or 10k route. Tickets for adults are £14.99 and £10 for children. All the proceeds will go towards this crucial and life-changing charity.

You can now purchase a family ticket at a discounted rate. If you purchase two adult tickets and two child tickets OR one adult ticket and three child tickets, a discount will automatically be applied to your order.
