Whether you’re an experienced runner chasing a new personal best, taking on your first marathon, or simply looking for a challenge that makes a difference, join team FORCE and run to support local people affected by cancer. Every pound you raise will help us continue providing counselling, wellbeing support, complementary therapies, specialist courses and financial advice to local people and their families, free of charge.
For a limited time you can sign up for just £10 (discounted from £20) when you pledge to raise a minimum of £90 for FORCE.
£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.
