Race for Life Cheltenham
Race for Life Cheltenham takes place at Cheltenham Racecourse, Prestbury Park, GL50 4SH. The event offers the following distances:
- 10k
- 5k
- 3k
The start and finish are on tarmac in front of the grandstand buildings. The course is a loop contained within the racecourse and runs on a combination of grass, woodchip and paths. The total ascent for the 10k is 71 m. Most of the route is on pavement, with some grassy sections that can become boggy in poor weather. There are no narrow sections.
The event is chip timed. The course is described as wheelchair accessible with assistance because of the grass and woodchip areas. Onsite provisions include refreshments and toilets; sunflower wristbands and trained staff are available for dementia awareness. A QR code will provide British Sign Language stage content.
Travel and arrival information notes free parking at the racecourse with access to the start line via Gate 21, approximately 100 m from the start. Blue Badge parking and drop off arrangements are available. Bike racks are on the B4705 about a five minute walk. The nearest mainline train station is about an hour's walk away.
Entry includes a fundraising pack, a customisable back sign, training plans, access to an online community, and a Race for Life medal on completion. A minimum fundraising target is shown for entries. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
