About Adelaide Relay for Life:

The largest Relay in the state, the Adelaide Relay For Life is celebrating 21 years of raising vital funds to support South Australians impacted by cancer. Since the event started, it has raised an incredible $4.1million for South Australians impacted by cancer.

The 2021 event will be held on Saturday 1 May at the SA Athletics Stadium. This this year it will be held over 8 hours instead of the traditional, 19-hour overnight event.

Featuring everything that makes Relay unique, including an opening, closing and candlelight ceremony and Survivors and Carers afternoon tea, the 2021 Relay will give even more South Australians the chance to Relay and make a difference.

All the money raised through the 2021 Adelaide Relay For Life will fund Cancer Council SA’s vital research, prevention, advocacy and support services.

Registrations for the 2021 event are now open via relayforlife.org.au. Those unable to participate in person can still show their support by donating directly via the website.
