What is RBC Race for the Kids at School?

RBC Race for the Kids at School is GOSH Charity's annual school fun run, taking place across the UK.

Bring the whole class, or even school, together for a 2k or 5k fun run. Race your own way, wherever you are! Whether it’s in your local park or school field, run, walk, wheel or scoot across that finish line to raise money to help build a new Children’s Cancer Centre at GOSH.

Choose a date between Monday 7 October and Friday 11 October 2024 to host your RBC Race for the Kids at School event.

Please note, online registration for RBC Race for the Kids at School closed at midday on Thursday 10 October.

Who should take part?

All ages and abilities can take part. Simply register your school for free, choose the location and set up your fundraising page.

Gather a team of teachers, pupils, and parents and have some fun while raising money to help beat childhood cancer. All money raised from RBC Race for the Kids at School will help build a new Children’s Cancer Centre at GOSH.

How your support will help

The money raised from RBC Race for the Kids will help build the new Children's Cancer Centre at GOSH. A world-class facility with children at its heart.

A place where children have access to play and education alongside pioneering treatments. Where families can stay together through some of the hardest moments. Where access to outdoor space is a priority, and a focus on nutrition helps fuel recovery.

GOSH has a team of dedicated doctors, nurses and researchers who are specialists in the most complex childhood cancers. And there are architects and builders who can transform the hospital. Now we just need people like you.

Join us to help build the Children’s Cancer Centre at GOSH and save more lives.

Together, we can build it. Together, we can help beat childhood cancer.

All the funds raised will go towards the development of cancer care at Great Ormond Street Hospital. In the event that costs change, or the needs of the hospital or patients change, we reserve the right to redirect funds for use against the hospital’s most urgent needs.
