Online Registration and Fundraising
Register online to participate in the Race For Life and create your own personal fundraising page. You can personalize your fundraising page with a photo and your own story, if you like. For those who prefer not to personalize their page, there is a standard page available for you to use. The most convenient feature of all is that you can email a link to your personal fundraising page to everyone in your email address book. Choosing this option allows you to raise funds all year prior to the next event.

Print a Pledge Form
The new Online Registration and Fundraising option is great, but we know that it's not for everyone. Download a printer-friendly pledge form here. If you choose the printable pledge form rather than online fundraising, you'll need to download and print the form, collect sponsorships and bring the completed form with you on the day of the Race.
If you are organizing a team and choose to use printable pledge forms, you need to download the Team Sign Up form and bring the completed form with you on the day of the Race.
