Welcome to the Norwegian Cancer Society's Relay for Life Trondheim, August 29 - 30, 2026 at the Finale Course at St. Olav's Hospital 💜
The Norwegian Cancer Society's Relay for Life is about supporting those affected by cancer in the local community. The guests of honor during the relay are the fighters, those who have or have had cancer themselves. You can participate by fielding a team, as a volunteer, as a fighter, or by contributing in other ways!
What happens within 24 hours?
The relay lasts for a full 24 hours to symbolize the struggle cancer patients are in, and that there should always be someone on the field for them. Families, friends, schools, associations and workplaces form teams and participate by having at least one team member on the field throughout the 24 hours.
Behind every team there is often a story, a person that the team wants to support, remember or celebrate.
Entertainment and lighting ceremony:
Along the way, there will be entertainment and an atmospheric lighting ceremony. Here we will light candles in paper bags with personal greetings to remember those who have passed away, and to give strength to those who continue to fight.
Who can participate?
Relay for Life is organized by volunteers and is the Norwegian version of the American Relay For Life. It is free to participate, and everyone is welcome! Money is raised for the cancer cause through the sale of light bags and the teams' own digital fundraising.
What does it mean to field a team?
As a participant on a team, you support the cancer cause and create a meaningful experience with friends and colleagues. You can form teams regardless of whether you know someone who is affected or not. Each participant decides for themselves whether they want to run, walk, push a stroller or use a wheelchair/roller. The most important thing is the community!
What does it mean to be a fighter?
If you have, or have had cancer, you can participate as a fighter. The fighters are our guests of honor and are invited to a very special program with entertainment and a three-course dinner. You also open the relay by walking the very first lap together.
