5K Your Way is a free, friendly support group for anyone impacted by cancer. Join us at your local parkrun event to walk, jog, run, cheer, volunteer, or simply enjoy a coffee and connect with others who understand what you're going through.
Who can join? Everyone affected by cancer is welcome—patients, survivors, family, friends, and supporters. There are no age limits or fitness requirements. You can participate at your own pace, whether that's walking, jogging, running, or just coming along for the social aspect.
- Free to join—no cost, no special kit required.
- Accessible and inclusive—all abilities are supported, and you can do as much or as little as you like.
- Social connection—most groups meet for coffee and cake afterwards, making it a great way to build friendships and find encouragement.
- Regular events—groups meet on the last Saturday of every month at over 120 parkrun locations across the UK and Ireland.
How to get involved:
- Register online with 5K Your Way and parkrun (both free).
- Find your local group and check the meeting point and time on our website.
- Just turn up—no pressure to complete the full 5km, and you can bring friends, family, or even your dog (where allowed).
Want to help others? You can volunteer, become an ambassador, or start a new group in your area. Your support helps us launch and sustain new groups nationwide.
