How to Complete the UK's "Race for Life"

The UK's Race for Life is a 5 km race open only to women. A fundraiser for cancer research, the Race for Life depends on donations and pledges to continue its work. You pay an entry fee to participate, but the money you raise funds the cancer research.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Choose a training program before you start the Race for Life. Visit the Race for Life website for choices of training programs. Train to walk, walk and run or just run the event.
2. Raise funds for the Race for Life organization to use in cancer research. Reduce the costs associated with collection of these funds by opening an online fundraising page.
3. Choose the location of the event you want to enter. Go to the Race for Life website and search by postal code, region or event for the race you want.
4. Turn in the funds you raise for Race for Life. Pay online with your debit or credit card or mail in a check. Raise even more money for Race for Life when you return your completed sponsorship form that you receive upon registration for the race.
