Cancer Research UK

Cancer Research UK has been the official charity of the London Winter Run since its first year, in 2015.

Together, 
we have raised more than £7m to help fund life-saving work into the prevention, detection and treatment of cancer.

Together we're beating cancer.

In the last 50 years, the charity’s pioneering work has helped double cancer survival in the UK. And today it’s continuing to save lives, here and around the world. By fundraising for Cancer Research UK, you'll be supporting the world’s leading cancer charity, dedicated to saving and improving lives through research, influence and information.


Your entry fee covers the cost of putting on the event, but it is the money raised by you that helps Cancer Research UK save lives. Nearly 1 in 2 people will get cancer in thier lifetime*. All of us can support the research that will beat it.
