Cheshire - Delamere Forest 5k 2026 | Race for Life

Cheshire - Delamere Forest 5k 2026 | Race for Life is a community fundraising 5k organised by Cancer Research UK to raise money for life‑saving cancer research. The event is designed to be inclusive, encouraging people to walk, jog or run at their own pace while fundraising for a common cause. The 5k distance is presented as an achievable challenge for most people and is suitable for first‑time participants as well as regular runners. Participants can join individually or as part of a team, with emphasis on participation and fundraising rather than competition.

Held within Delamere Forest, the course follows forest tracks across undulating terrain and can be muddy in wet weather, offering a scenic woodland setting near the Delamere Forest visitor centre and café. The event site has on‑site refreshments and toilets, nearby train access (Delamere station) and paid parking for visitors, and is assessed as wheelchair accessible with assistance. Organisers provide accessibility provisions such as sunflower wristbands and dementia‑aware event managers, and there is a welcoming atmosphere for supporters and families after the finish.
