Fairlands Valley Park, Broadhall Way, Stevenage, SG2 8QJ
Stevenage 5k 2026 is a Race for Life event organised by Cancer Research UK where participants walk, jog or run a 5k to raise funds for life‑saving cancer research. The 5k distance is presented as an achievable challenge suitable for first‑time participants and experienced runners alike, with a flexible start window from 11:00 so entrants can choose a start time that suits them. The event emphasises fundraising and community participation rather than competition, and the page makes clear that fundraising support and ideas are provided to help reach the minimum fundraising target.
The event takes place at Fairlands Valley Park with the start and finish near the Broadhall Way carpark and features a mix of paved and grassy surfaces with a grass start/finish; the course map is provided on the organiser site and may be subject to change. The organiser notes accessibility measures including wheelchair access with assistance, Sunflower wristbands and BSL stage content via QR code, and on‑site facilities such as refreshments, toilets and free parking. Participants can enter individually or as part of a group, and the event is promoted as family‑friendly with pushchair access and dogs allowed on site.
