Make strides for cancer care
My dad was treated at Royal Surrey Cancer Centre and the atmosphere there was incredible – a real sense of community with other patients, and everyone was so supportive. This culture of care and compassion, I know, comes from the amazing work of every single staff member.

About the event
The routes are well marked and there will be water and aid stations placed at approximately half way around each loop, providing hot and cold drinks, and snacks. There is a 5km, 10km or 15km route or for the ultimate challenge why not sign up to take on our 25km route.
All you have to do is put one foot in front of the other, and we'll take care of the rest.
“It’s been the perfect day: great weather, great walk…I’ve enjoyed meeting people along the way. And there’s some food at the end, so that’s precious. I like the down bits more than the up bits, I have to admit!” Phil completed the 25K route in memory of his Dad, Eddie.
