Relay For Life teams are made up of friends, family members and colleagues. There are normally between 8 and 15 members in each team.
To enter a team simply find your nearest Relay and follow the links.
Raising money to help beat cancer
Before the Relay, the teams raise as much money as possible to support the work of Cancer Research UK.
The event itself is a celebration of all the fundraising carried out throughout the year. It's a chance for everyone involved to recognise the important contribution they have made to help beat cancer.
Once your team has registered you will receive a booklet packed with fundraising ideas and information on how to set up an online fundraising page.
Walking through the night
Each Relay lasts from 12- 24 hours, so the teams camp out overnight. During the day the celebration is in full swing and a party takes place around the track, whilst team members take turns walking laps.
Watch our Relay For Life video to find out what it's all about.
Entering youth teams
Relay For Life is an event for all, regardless of age or fitness level. If you are under 18 and would like to take part in the fun, festivity and fundraising of Relay For Life just find your nearest venue and contact your Relay committee for more information.
"I think Cancer Research UK's Relay For Life is a great event, it celebrates the fact that people do survive cancer, and it brings together your friends and family to celebrate that with you."
Joy Marshall, Relay team member, 2007
