Leanne Quigley Urges 2026 Race for Life Sign-Ups as Local Dates and Discounts Announced

The Traitors star cites her fiancée’s recent breast cancer fight to spur community fundraising for Cancer Research UK.

Overview

  • Race for Life events run nationwide from May to July with accessible 3k, 5k and 10k routes and Pretty Muddy, with 10k races chip timed but the series non-competitive.
  • Blackburn’s Witton Park hosts 3k, 5k and 10k events on Wednesday, 10 June, and Salisbury’s Hudson’s Field event is set for Sunday, 21 June.
  • January registrants can get 30% off entry using code RFL26NY as part of the charity’s New Year sale.
  • Quigley and fiancée Sophie Jones raised more than £1,200 last summer after Jones’s July 2024 HER2‑positive diagnosis and treatment of five chemotherapy rounds and two weeks of radiotherapy, with remission reported.
  • Cancer Research UK points to its research impact, including contributions linked to Herceptin, and urges communities to “go all in” as nearly one in two people will develop cancer in their lifetime.
