“By signing up to Race for Life, there’s the chance to raise money for life-saving research. Sadly, cancer affects all of us in some way.

“Whether people are living with cancer, taking part in honour of or in memory of a loved one with cancer or signing up to protect their own children’s future, everyone has a reason to Race for Life. “The day is open to all ages and features 5k and 10k events.

Added Lisa: “For some people, the Race for Life is literally a walk in the park - slow and steady still wins!

“For others, it’s a jog and others may opt to push themselves harder and take part in the 10K distance.
