About this race
Race For Life Guildford starts and finishes on the open green beside the Rugby Club in Stoke Park, Guildford. It is a cancer research fundraising run with 5K, 10K, and 3K options, suitable for walkers, newer runners, and those seeking a longer morning effort. The 10K begins at 10:00 am and the 3K at 11:00 am. The event is located at GU1 1ER, in a Surrey town approximately 27 miles southwest of central London.
The route is entirely on grass, following a relatively flat path around Stoke Park, making it straightforward underfoot in layout, though the surface is weather-dependent. The event prioritizes fundraising over fast racing, with participants attending for Cancer Research UK in groups, families, and teams. Guildford offers local character: the town is situated by the River Wey, its name relates to an old river crossing, and it is bordered on three sides by the Surrey Hills National Landscape.
