Looking back at Falkirk's Race for Life in 2015 - Part 1

Today hundreds of fundraising runners should have been taking part in Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life events in Falkirk.

However the Covid-19 pandemic saw the charity postpone the event to a date in September, before cancelling it completely for 2020 just a few weeks ago.

The huge fundraiser would have seen participants complete either a 5k, 10k or the pretty muddy obstacle course in the town’s Callendar Park to raise cash for the cancer charity.

We cannot bring you pictures from the 2020 event, so we’ve delved into our archives to bring you some from five years ago. Are you among the runners?
