The partnership offers participants the chance to bypass the ballot and sign up for an event of their choice without the worry of being offered a place.
The CancerCare team will be there every step of the way, providing support throughout the process from the moment they sign up until the finish line celebration.
Lancaster’s 3-1-5 Health Club are hoping the partnership will provide their members with motivation and purpose through participation in premier events.

“At 3-1-5, we are committed to positively changing lives by promoting an active lifestyle. Together with CancerCare, we aim to improve the quality of life for our members and their families. We look forward to hearing inspiring stories from our members who participate in these fantastic opportunities, knowing that their efforts are positively impacting those in their local community who are being affected by cancer, illness or bereavement.”
CancerCare’s deputy head of fundraising Kat Michaels added: “We’re absolutely delighted to be working alongside 3-1-5 and we’re so grateful for their support. We similarly hope to encourage people to take up exercise for their own mental and physical well-being, and we look forward to cheering on those participants who decide to support CancerCare by taking part in these exciting events.”
