The Big Golf Race 2025 is back: Here's everything you need to know

Prostate Cancer UK is calling on golfers across the UK to go the distance this summer and take part The Big Golf Race. 

The Big Golf Race helps fund life-saving projects like TRANSFORM, the most ambitious prostate cancer screening trial in over 20 years. 

Since it launched in 2020, it has become the biggest golf fundraising challenge in the UK.

More than 14,400 golfers have raised over £4.5m to help fund life-saving research to radically improve the way prostate cancer is diagnosed and treated. 

Simon Grieveson, assistant director of research at Prostate Cancer UK, said: "Over the years, golfers have played a massive part in enabling us to launch projects like TRANSFORM, which aims to definitively show the best way to screen men for prostate cancer, and in doing so providing earlier diagnoses, and saving thousands of lives a year.

"Every year we're blown away by the response to The Big Golf Race, and we're delighted it's now the biggest fundraising challenge in golf. That's in no small part to our inspirational army of golfing supporters, who turn out in their thousands every summer to raise life-changing amounts of money to Prostate Cancer UK."

Golfers wishing to take part have three fundraising options: the Marathon (playing 72 holes in a day), the Half Marathon (36 holes) or the formidable Ultra Marathon (100 or more). 

You can sign up to the challenge on the brand new microsite here. You can also track the fundraising leaderboard, too. 

Those registering will receive a fundraising pack which includes golf balls, tees, pencils and a fundraising guide. 

Every golfer that raises £250 will be entered into a draw to win a once-in-a-lifetime golf holiday to Aphrodite Hills Resort in Cyprus. 

The top overall fundraiser will claim the ultimate golf package worth £3,000 courtesy of Titleist. 

The Big Golf Race 2025 was officially launched this week at Pitch, Soho, in central London on 25 February. 

Scotland's most decorated Olympian - and keen golfer - Duncan Scott OBE joined former international rugby star Kenny Logan for a Q&A hosted by Sky Sports' Johnny Phillips.

Logan, who also battled cancer, said: "It's inspiring to see how much of the golf community has got behind The Big Golf Race. 

"I knew about prostate cancer before my diagnosis, but as a young man playing professional sport, you think you're untouchable. 

"As you get older, you realise things can happen and knowing that one in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer reflects how important it is for men to know their risk."
