Relay for Life is a charity fun run event that raises money for cancer research and recognises those who have died, are being treated or have overcome cancer.
Horsham Relay for Life is held each year and raises money by teams continuously running, walking, skipping or dancing their way around Coughlan Park.
Horsham Relay for Life, 2024 Dates & Location, Grampians Victoria
If you cannot assemble a team, you are welcome to arrive on the day and register for an already enrolled team. The more feet per team, the better, so you will be welcomed with open arms.
Get excited because the Relay has arrived! Head on down early to check in and pick up an event program, site map, and shirts or merchandise at the registration desk upon arrival.
Here’s what to expect at Relay:
- Opening Ceremony
- Survivors and Carers walk
- Candlelight Ceremony
- Closing ceremony
- Entertainment, kids activities and live music (throughout the day and night)
- Keep those team members walking!
You don’t have to stay on the track all night, but we encourage teams to have at least one person on the track at all times to get the most out of your Relay experience.
Money raised goes toward the Cancer Council’s research, prevention, and support services. Teams are encouraged to fundraise before the event, and registration fees support these vital services.
One person must always remain on the course to represent your team, but this is not an endurance event. You can walk 1 or 100 laps; each participant goes at their own pace and does as many laps as they want to. Once they have completed their laps, they then hand the baton to a team member who takes over and completes as many laps as they would like to, and so on through the night. Prams and wheelchairs are permitted on the course, but please leave scooters, skateboards, rollerblades and dogs at home.
So put together a team and come and join this fantastic community event in Horsham!
