Event information
The Wolverhampton route starts and finishes in West Park. The double lap course follows many of the tarmac paths, passing the bandstand, boating lake, the conservatory and the play area. The course is run on tarmac paths and is mainly flat, but there are some inclines. It is an interesting course with a fun atmosphere.
Please arrive 30 to 45 minutes before your start time so that you are prepared and ready to go on time.
There is very limited parking space around the venue so please use City Centre car parks. If parking on the roads please ensure you are aware of any restrictions that may be applied.
A limited number of disabled parking bays can be found around the outside of West Park. The event site and route to it are all on hardstanding ground.

Race for Life Wolverhampton 5k
Cancer Research UK - Race for Life
Race for Life is Cancer Research UK’s biggest series of fundraising events. Taking place across the UK, the events include 3k, 5k and 10k routes as well as our Pretty Muddy obstacle events. Race for Life started 28 years ago as a women-only event. The first event was held in Battersea, in 1994, where 750 participants raised £48,000. Since that point, Race for Life has grown into a series of hundreds of events across the country, raising nearly £900 million towards beating cancer over the last quarter of a century. In 2019, for the first time, the Race for Life opened its doors to men to participate too, making it a truly inclusive event, giving people the chance to come together with their family and friends, and join the movement to help beat cancer.
