5K Your Way, Move Against Cancer is THIS SATURDAY! Come along and join their 5th birthday celebration!

Published on June 19, 2023

On Saturday 24th June at Forest Recreation Ground, Gregory Boulevard, Nottingham 5K Your Way is turning 5! What is 5K Your Way? It's a community based initiative to encourage those living with and beyond cancer, families, friends and those working in cancer services to walk, jog, run, cheer or volunteer at a local 5K Your Way parkrun on the last Saturday of every month.

Provided by MOVE Charity, their goal is simple: to encourage those living with and beyond cancer to walk, jog, run, cheer, or volunteer at their local 5KYW group. They're a supportive community that inspires and empowers people impacted by cancer to live an active and fulfilling lifestyle. And we welcome not just those living with and beyond cancer, but also family members, friends, and those working in cancer services.

With 87 groups across the UK and Ireland, they're growing fast. Their groups are led by passionate volunteer ambassadors who are instrumental in building local 5k Your Way communities. And during the Covid-19 pandemic, they got even more creative, launching free online workshops, a podcast, and even a virtual trip around the world.

But they're just getting started. They have big plans to expand their reach and make an even bigger impact. And with their fifth birthday just around the corner, they're celebrating all that they've accomplished so far - including being featured on the BBC's One Show.

So, if you're looking for a supportive, inspiring community that's making a real difference, join us at 5K Your Way. Let's move against cancer together. For more information, visit their website or follow them on social media. They will be outside the Forest Recreation Ground pavilion from 8.40am! You can't miss the 5K Your Way flag.
