Investigator College 2026

Welcome to Investigator College Relay For Life 2026!

Welcome to Relay For Life! This team event raises vital funds for Cancer Council’s, prevention, research and support services.

Why Relay For Life?

Relay For Life is a chance for your community to recognise and celebrate local cancer survivors, as well as those currently going through a cancer experience and their carers. It also honours and remembers the loved ones lost to cancer while raising funds to help change lives through cancer prevention programs, research and support services.

Is it just about walking or running for a long time?

Relay For Life is so much more! Teams are encouraged to come up with their own theme and some colourful costumes.

Throughout the afternoon you can expect to participate in novelty games and challenges as well as enjoying music, food, fundraising and great company.

If you are under 18 years of age, you are required to complete the Youth Consent Form. This form is triggered within the registration process. You will need your parent/guardian available when registering to confirm consent and their email address. The consent form confirmation will be sent to your guardian.

Youth Policy

The Cancer Council requires that every person under the age of 18 must have approval by a parent or guardian to register for and participate in Relay For Life events.

Youth Teams

Cancer Council South Australia requires that teams where the majority of members are under 18 must have two registered adult supervisors present at all times throughout the Relay For Life event. Youth Team Supervisors must be over 21 years of age and are responsible for the behaviour and conduct of the youth they oversee.

Code of Conduct for Youth Teams

We want all participants to enjoy their Relay For Life experience. Common sense is key to everyone having a good time. This means considering and being respectful of the needs of other participants, abiding by the event rules and complying with all reasonable requests from members of the organising committee or Cancer Council South Australia staff.
