On Sunday 2nd June, 2024, members of staff from Cymru Care Training completed the Race for Life 5K at Festival Fields in Llanelli.
Race for Life is Cancer Research UK’s biggest series of fundraising events. It gets people moving – and raising money for vital cancer research – all around the UK.
They've been raising funds and changing lives for more than a quarter of a century. At the first event in Battersea in 1994, 750 female participants raised £48,000. Since then, Race for Life has grown into a series of hundreds of events across the country, raising over £970m for life-saving treatments.
Today, people of all genders and ages can join in the Race for Life. Race for Life isn’t just a 5k run. Over the years they’ve added plenty of events to make sure that everyone can have a go, join in and help outsmart cancer. There are 3k, 5k and 10k routes to take at your own speed and there’s also the Pretty Muddy® 5k obstacle course to climb over, crawl under and charge through. And, Pretty Muddy Kids events, so even the little ones can lace up and join in.
A huge well done to all members of the CCT team who took part!
