Penguin 2027

Welcome to Penguin Relay For Life!

What is Relay For Life?
Relay For Life is a powerful community event that brings people together to celebrate cancer survivors and carers, honour and remember loved ones lost and raise vital funds to help fight back against cancer. Gather your friends, family, workmates or club members and create a team to make a difference!

How it works?
Before the event:
šŸ‘„Build a team – Invite people you know to join your team
ā¤ļøRaise funds – Fundraise together with your team to support Cancer Council Tasmania's support services, prevention programs and research.
On the day:
🚶Walk the track – Take turns as a team, walking laps relay-style throughout the 20 hour event.
šŸ•ÆļøAttend powerful ceremonies and join in fun activities whilst you’re off the track too.
Whether you’re walking, cheering or sharing the experience, every team member plays a part.

You can make an impact!
Every lap walked and every dollar raised helps support Tasmanians impacted by cancer.
Relay For Life is a community bringing hope and supporting each other, so no one faces cancer alone.
Together, we can help create a future free from cancer.
