1.6km loop
The Can4Cancer Run event provides the opportunity for an individual or a team to run 50km in either of the following formats:
Enter as an individual running 50km solo
Enter as a team running relay style to complete a combined 50km.
How the 50km is divided up, is up to the team. The course is a 1.6km loop, and each team member must complete ‘a loop’ so their combined team km’s are recorded. Only one team member can be running at any given time.
CommBank Staff Foundation membership included in your registration
Can4Cancer is a program of the CommBank Staff Foundation. Whilst most Can4Cancer participants are already members of the Foundation, if you are not already a member you will be auto enrolled as part of your registration.
As a member of the Foundation, you will be able to further your contribution to the community through other Foundation programs, such as nominating organisations for a $10,000 Community Grant, support the work of the Clown Doctors and assisting communities impacted by natural disasters.
From November, a $5 donation will be made from your pre-tax pay, which will be matched by the Bank.
Of course, if you would like to opt out of Foundation membership, you will be able to and this does not impact your participation in Can4Cancer. Please email any questions to can4cancer@cba.com.au
