Relay Your Way - Canberra Schools 2026

Welcome to Relay Your Way Canberra 2026!

Relay is a fun and moving experience that raises vital funds for the Cancer Council ACT’s research, prevention, and support services. Organise your very own Relay For Life event at your school anytime between March to May 2026.

It’s a chance for your school and our community to recognise and celebrate local cancer survivors, those going through a cancer experience and their carers, to honour and remember loved ones lost and to raise money to help save more lives.

Join the thousands of Australians who take part in Cancer Council’s Relay For Life each year and make strides towards a cancer free future.
