PENRITH Relay For Life is back for 2026. Registrations are now opened for Saturday 12th September 2026 and Sunday 13th September 2026 at Harold Corr Oval, starting at 9am on Saturday 12th September and finishing at 10pm on Sunday 13th September.
Once again, this years Penrith Relay For Life will be held at Harold Corr Oval, 32 Herbert St, Cambridge Park.
This year, Penrith Relay For Life will be celebrating 25 years and the Penrith Community has raised over $4.3 million, thank you for your support!
This year Penrith Relay For Life will be doing 25 hours for 25 years. It has once again returned to an overnight event where relayers will be able to camp out at the venue or continue walking around the oval.
The money raised provides groundbreaking cancer research, local support programs for Cancer patients as well as Cancer prevention programs in local schools and community groups.
Organised by passionate local volunteers, Penrith Relay For Life gives the community a chance to join forces in support of everyone affected by cancer, have fun at a community festival, and raise vital funds towards Cancer Council’s world-class research, prevention, advocacy and support services.
“We have seen a large spike in demand for our support in the Western Sydney region, but a fall in fundraising to support the cause. With Cancer Council’s services needed more now than ever before, we need our local community to get involved” said Community Fundraising Coordinator, Yvette Haines.
“We are also looking for local businesses to sponsor our event or donate prizes.”
Penrith Relay For Life 2026 will still have all of the special key Relay elements including; Opening Ceremony, survivors and carers lap of honour, entertainment and our very special Hope Ceremony. There will also be a number of Food Vendors in attendance.
Penrith Relay for Life Media/Marketing Co-ordinator Brad See said, “Our aim as a committee is to put on a good event for our community to support one another, this years target is $100,000 to support Cancer Council in working towards a cancer free future”.
