Race for Life Glasgow

Race for Life Glasgow is a Cancer Research UK charity running event taking place at Glasgow Green on Sunday 17 May 2026 and offers 3K, 5K and 10K distance options. The event brings together individuals and teams to raise funds for cancer‑beating research while enjoying a city‑centre run. Official event pages list separate start times for each distance and hold the definitive registration and participant information. The Race for Life brand and Cancer Research UK are the event organisers and beneficiaries.

The 5K is described as a single‑lap course starting at Glasgow Green that heads up Saltmarket, along Trongate, past George Square, reaches Buchanan Street and finishes down on the Clydeside; the route is relatively flat and highlights Glasgow's architecture and atmosphere. The 10K and 3K are additional options on the same day with their own start times shown on the event pages. The local organiser is listed on the event page as Victoria Lambert and more detailed logistics are provided on the official Race for Life event pages.
