The Southampton 5k Race for Life route starts on the main area of The Common, opposite the playground. It follows the tree lined paths of The Common, follows Cemetry Road and returns to the The Common to finish.

The surface is relatively flat and on tarmac throughout so is lovely and gentle.

Please arrive 30 to 45 minutes before your start time so that you are prepared and ready to go on time.

The Southampton course is mainly on tarmac paths or roads around The Common.

There is no allocated drop off points but all roads around The Common are accessible during the event. Only Cemetry Road is closed including the car park there.

If you require any further information on the accessibility of a Race for Life event, or wish to bring a carer/helper to accompany you, please contact our Supporter Hotline on 0300 123 0770 and press 1 when prompted (Opening hours are 8am - 6pm Monday to Friday) or email us at <a href="mailto:[email protected]"> [email protected]ancer.org.uk </a>
