Harrogate's Race for Life event will return to The Stray this weekend.
It’s being held on Sunday (21st July) and is open to all ages and abilities.
The Race for Life aims to raise money for life-saving cancer research, enabling scientists to find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer.
Participants can choose from 3k, 5k and 10k events.
Lisa Millett, Cancer Research UK’s spokesperson for North Yorkshire, said:
“No matter how cancer affects us, life is worth racing for.
“Sadly nearly 1 in 2 of us will get cancer in our lifetime but Race for Life has the power not only to transform lives, but to save them.
"We’re proud that Race for Life has already helped double survival rates in the UK."
She added:
“We’d love for as many people as possible to join us at Race for Life. There is a race for everyone and we mean everyone.
“Walk, jog, run or take on the course however it suits best. It’s a chance to feel the power of moving together with fellow Race for Lifers and have fun with it."
Since it began in 1994, more than 10 million people have taken part in Race for Life, funding 30 years of hope and progress.
Money raised has helped develop radiotherapy which benefits more than 130,000 people with cancer in the UK every year.
Andy Curran, Chief Executive of Standard Life, part of Phoenix Group, said:
“We are incredibly proud to continue as headline sponsor for Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life, with the opportunity to encourage participation across the country.
“By working to raise funds for life-saving research, we can move towards a future where people live longer and healthier lives, free from the fear of cancer.”
