Wagga Wagga 2026

Welcome to Wagga Wagga Relay For Life!

Relay For Life is a fun and moving community event that raises vital funds for Cancer Council’s cancer research, prevention and support services. It is a chance for our community to recognise and celebrate cancer survivors, those who are living with cancer and their carers, and to remember loved ones lost.

Our Relay For Life event is unique to our community, featuring a range of activities, entertainment and a relay-style walk – a fun weekend with something for the whole family to enjoy.

With almost 1 in 2 lives affected by cancer, everyone has a reason to take part in Relay for Life. Start a team with your friends, family or colleagues and help us stay on track to end cancer.

Start or join a team in the 2026 Wagga Relay today!

Survivors & Carers

add remove

Relay For Life is a time for our community to come together and celebrate cancer survivors, remember those who are no longer with us and fight back against cancer.

If you or anyone you love has ever heard the words ‘you have cancer’, you know how much if affects us and the people around us. None should face cancer alone, so whether you’re a Survivor or Carer, getting involved in your local Relay For Life can introduce you to others who are facing similar challenges and create opportunities for sharing stories, friendship and hope.

To honour your inspiring journey, you’re invited to be our Guest of Honour at Relay For Life.

You can choose to walk in the Survivor and Carer’s Lap of Honour or just come along for the celebrations.

We are currently finalising details for Survivors and Carers. We encourage you to pre-register for the Survivors and Carers Lap and we will notify you once details are confirmed.

Register for the Survivors and Carers Lap and select a Survivor Carer Lap ticket. 

Our communities wouldn’t be the same without you, so thank you!

If you are having trouble registering, please contact (02) 6937 2610 | [email protected]

Under 18s

Parent or Guardian Consent

If you are under 18 years of age, you are required to have a parent or guardian complete a Parental Consent Form before the event. This form is part of the registration flow. All youth are required to have the consent of their parent/guardian. Failure to do so will result in the youth being unable to attend the Relay For Life event.

Youth Team Supervisors

All participants under 18 years of age are required to have a supervisor over the age of 21 present with their team for the duration of the event.

You must register your supervisor by completing the Youth Supervisor Form that is emailed to you upon registering as a youth. It is the responsibility of the parent, guardian, team captain or youth to ensure the youth supervisor has completed this form.

If a youth team attends Relay For Life without the required number of supervisors over the age of 21, the team will not be able to participate.

Please note that for youth teams, you must have 1 supervisor per 10 youth participants.

If you are a School or Youth Team, please contact Meagan Vearing - (02) 6937 2610 | [email protected]
