Eastbourne 5k 2026 is a Race for Life event organised by Cancer Research UK, taking place at Eastbourne Sports Park on Sunday 24 May 2026 with a scheduled 11:00 start. The event is positioned as an accessible 5 km challenge suitable for first-time participants as well as regular runners, and it emphasises fundraising for life‑saving cancer research as its core purpose. Your entry fee covers the cost of staging the day while fundraising supports Cancer Research UKs research work; a minimum fundraising ask is stated on the event page. Participants sign up via the event page and will receive an email containing the essential information to prepare for the day.
The course starts and finishes on grass and uses a mix of grass, tarmac and dirt woodland paths, described as generally flat and family friendly, with facilities including refreshments, toilets and parking. The event offers accessibility support, British Sign Language content via QR code and Dementia Friends provisions such as sunflower wristbands, and it encourages supporters and a post‑race picnic atmosphere for spectators. Practical travel information is provided on the event page, including local bus and rail links and onsite/nearby parking and EV charging options.
