Nottingham 5k

Nottingham 5k is a Race for Life event organised by Cancer Research UK, taking place on Sunday 21 June 2026 at Victoria Embankment in Nottingham. The event is a community 5 kilometre run, walk or jog alongside the River Trent and is explicitly framed as a fundraising activity to support life‑saving cancer research. Participants can enter individually or in groups, and the page emphasises fundraising as the core purpose of taking part.

The course starts and finishes on grass at the Meadows Ground and is described as largely flat and scenic, suitable for walkers, joggers and runners, with some mixed terrain. The site notes a range of practical arrangements including on‑site refreshments, toilets, spectator welcome and free event parking on the sports field, with accessible and Blue Badge parking available. Entrants are advised of limited bike parking and to avoid leaving vehicles on Victoria Embankment as it forms part of the course.
