Teams have until the end of February to register online.
Teams or individuals can approach the Cancer Society if they require assistance with fundraising.
There is capacity for 70 teams in Poynters Park and 28 are currently registered.
“We would love to fill it up,” said cancer society fundraising and events coordinator Shay Podjursky.
Relay MC Walter “The Whizz” Walsh, who has been involved in every Relay for Life, said he loved the event and supported the cause.
He has a full line-up of entertainment ready to go.
“There will be a full range of music,” he said.
“There will be music to suit everyone.”
Ms Podjursky said there would be “kapa haka, country, jazz, zumba and more — the whole sham-banza”.
Other attractions include a children’s carnival zone and prizes for the best-presented team and/or team site.
Candle bags can be purchased for $5 each to be displayed at trackside team sites for the 9pm ceremony to honour cancer survivors and to remember those we have lost.
Ms Podjursky said the lights will be turned off at 9pm.
“I hope we can light up the night and make for a very special occasion.”
As is customary, the relay starts with a celebration lap featuring cancer survivors and their carers.
Sponsors, Property Brokers, and the Cancer Society will host registered survivors and carers for lunch in the Celebration Marquee.
Registered teams will receive a cooked breakfast on Sunday morning to help encourage them for those last few hours.
Ms Podjursky is busy, but happy.
She is so close to organising a Relay for Life after two previous attempts were ended by Covid-19 and flooding.
