Liverpool - Sefton Park 5k 2026

Liverpool - Sefton Park 5k 2026 is a Race for Life event organised by Cancer Research UK to raise funds for life‑saving cancer research. The 5k distance is promoted as an achievable challenge for most people and participants may walk, jog or run at their own pace; entry options include joining solo or as part of a group. The event page sets a minimum fundraising target and provides online sign‑up and guidance for fundraisers, with training plans and encouragement to use activity trackers. The start and finish are located on the field to the left of the Sefton Park Obelisk, with a course map provided though the route is noted as subject to change.

The route runs around Sefton Park on a mix of gravel paths and grass with some undulations, and organisers note grass sections may become boggy in wet weather; the meeting point is given with what3words ///Boom.Object.Grind. Accessibility information states the route has been assessed as wheelchair accessible and the event offers on‑site assistance and accessible content channels, while facilities on the page include toilets and refreshments but no designated event parking. Public transport options and walking routes are described for attendees arriving by bus or train, and community support such as Facebook groups and fundraising resources are promoted to help participants prepare and meet their fundraising goals.
