The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR)

Our mission is to make the discoveries that defeat cancer.

Tragically, one in three of us will develop cancer in our lifetime. And even if we are not directly affected, almost all of us will be moved by the pain and suffering cancer causes to a relative or friend.

Our scientists and clinicians are working daily in our laboratories to make a real impact on the lives of people with cancer. We have an unrivalled track record in cancer research and have researchers studying everything from the basic causes of the disease to developing the latest treatments for patients.

By running for us, you can play a vital role in supporting us to make the discoveries that defeat cancer. Whether you’ve been affected by cancer, or whether you simply want to further world-leading research, please get involved and run for us.

Our dedicated events experts will help you in the run up to your event and will support you throughout your training. We offer a free running vest to all our runners and have ICR branded materials to assist you with your fundraising.

We have guaranteed places in key running events and welcome runners with their own place in any running event. Please get in touch to join our team.
