Participants are asked to raise as much money as possible in the lead up to the relay, through donations from friends, families and work colleagues.
During the day of the relay, team members take it in turns to walk around a track for 12 hours to represent the non-stop fight to beat cancer.
A poignant candle of hope ceremony will take place in the evening as darkness falls, where candles can be dedicated to those we have lost to cancer and mark those who are under treatment.
Survivors of cancer will be special guests of the event and the 12 hour relay begins with a lap of honour for them. Sign up through the Cancer Research UK website.
