Monday 5 – Sunday 11 October 2026 

RBC Race for the Kids: Home Heroes gives everyone the chance to be part of our super fun, fun run, wherever you are and whatever your age or ability.  

Gather your family and friends to join thousands of incredible Home Heroes across the UK and create your own RBC Race for the Kids challenge on your own turf. 

From walking and wheeling, to running and scooting, take on 2k, 5k or your own trailblazing distance in a way that suits you and your crew best. You could do it all in one day or split out your distance across the week, it’s up to you. 

By taking part as a Home Hero, you’ll get out and about while raising funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH Charity) to help beat childhood cancer. 

So, explore your neighbourhood, turn your local park into a track or discover somewhere new along the way. However you decide, you can race for the kids anywhere!

How your support will help

Cancer doesn’t care about childhood. It doesn’t care what seriously ill kids miss out on, like trips to the seaside or playing in the park with their friends.

But we do.

Despite great progress in treatments and cures, cancer is still the biggest killer of children aged one to 14 in the UK and around 1,900 children are diagnosed every year.*

At GOSH Charity, we know that when cancer hits, childhood suffers. That's why we're building the new, world-leading Children's Cancer Centre at GOSH.

With cutting-edge facilities and an environment where pioneering research can thrive, this centre will be a beacon of hope for families facing the unimaginable. And because cancer shouldn’t get to steal anyone’s childhood, it will be more than a hospital building. It will be a school, a playground, a garden and a home-from-home.

Take on RBC Race for the Kids and join our team of doctors, builders, nurses, researchers and many more helping to build the Children's Cancer Centre – so we can give more kids with cancer the best chance and the best childhood possible.

Be part of it

Run, walk, wheel or scoot to help build the new Children’s Cancer Centre at GOSH and save more lives. Together, we can build it. Together, we can help beat childhood cancer.
