What is Lena’s Run for Life?

Lena’s Run for Life is our annual charity event, raising funds for ovarian cancer research. It takes place every year in September. Everyone can take part, young or old, and contribute in their own way. There is no set distance, just one hour of movement in whatever way you choose.

All you need to do is set aside one hour for exercise and choose the activity that suits you best: walk, jog, run, cycle, swim, ride, or do anything else you enjoy. You can take part virtually, wherever you are, or join one of our local events. Afterwards, simply register the distance you covered.

Our goal is to rack up enough kilometers to make a lap around the
earth and show our support for women everywhere.

Thank you to all participants, sponsors, and volunteers. See you in 2027!

There are races that require months of planning, gear preparation, and physical effort.
And then there’s Lena’s Run for Life – a race where we come together, wherever we are, to walk, run, or bike for one hour, entirely at our own pace.
Most importantly, every single cent goes directly to ovarian cancer research, rather than into a costly event. This race isn’t about breaking records, it’s about truly making a difference."
