Run for Team FORCE in 2027
Be part of something amazing in 2027 by joining Team FORCE in the iconic Great West Run -Exeter’s much-loved local half marathon, which sold out in 2026!
Take on either the 10km or the half marathon and enjoy an event full of fun, passion, and atmosphere.
FORCE is proud to be the official charity partner, and we’d love you to run with us for a day filled with community spirit, energy, and purpose.
To run for Team FORCE, sign up for just £20 and pledge to raise at least £90 for FORCE.
Every step you run will help FORCE provide vital support, comfort and care to local people facing cancer and your fundraising will make a real difference to those going through the most difficult of times:
£90 could help fund vital support from FORCE’s Information Team, providing guidance, reassurance and advice when a cancer diagnosis turns someone’s world upside down.
£150 could fund a place on our exercise and fitness programme for cancer patients. Staying active is vital, especially during treatment. Our specialist physiotherapists provide expert support before, during, and after cancer treatment.
£200 could help support someone living with non-curable cancer, giving them access to group support and restorative retreat days.
Be part of Team FORCE in the half marathon or 10K, which both start and finish at Exeter Arena. The runs take you through the city centre, followed by pretty country lanes and stunning views across Exeter.
