race for life

Hey folks can any one explain why this is only for ladies. Seems a bit unfair as men have had relavtives that have had cancer and beaten it.

Just seems to be a bit unfair cant see why males cant do this to.

[AliB1 Graduate]

i have to agree with you there. was thinking the same thing earlier. maybe you should start one for blokes only

[toonfan71 in reply to AliB1]

i have no idea how i would go about this to be honest

[Mirella Graduate]

No idea, maybe it started as a breast cancer thing. Maybe you could contact them and suggest a mens only event to even things up a bit.

[louby43 Graduate]

My partner has said the same. We've found a local park run that I think we're going to do together on Saturday, maybe look for one of those!

[toonfan71]

could but would some one say a mens only event would be sexist? could well have been j

[Jenbie Graduate in reply to toonfan71]

No more sexist than a women-only event though, surely?

[toonfan71 in reply to Jenbie]

True but would they make a big fuss bout it

I used to do a lot of work for CRUK organising a relay for life where everybody is welcome. It would take too much explaining on here, but you can read more at relay.org.uk. Alternatively, they do run quite a few 10k and half marathon events that can be found on running.cancerresearchuk.or....
