Hume Relay for Life organisers are hoping for better weather this year, after last year’s event was rained out.
The Cancer Council fundraiser was called off on its second day last year due to torrential rain, preventing teams from completing their laps.
Committee member Carly Moore said she was hoping this year would be more successful.
“We didn’t have a great year last year so we are hoping this one will be better and want to encourage teams to sign up,” she said.
Among those taking part in the fundraiser are Craigieburn’s Beccy Comer and Veronica Cipriani.
The pair will be representing Step Into Life personal trainers at the event.
Ms Comer, who only signed up two weeks ago, said this would be her first time taking part in Relay For Life.
“I usually do the Ride to Conquer Cancer but that is getting a bit hard to do, so this year, I thought I would sign up for Relay for Life,” she said.
“A lot of people I know have been diagnosed with cancer and I have friends who have survived cancer so I wanted to support them.
“I want to get behind the Cancer Council and help to one day find a cure.”
The Hume Relay For Life will be held from 4pm on April 7 to 10am on April 8 at Sprint Athletics Centre, Aitken Boulevard, Craigieburn.
