Runners are being encouraged to tackle the Race for Life at Home event this April.

With Race for Life events postponed until the Autumn because of the pandemic, organisers at Cancer Research UK have lined up an event on Saturday, April 24, in partnership with Tesco.

Race for Life at Home asks people to run, walk or jog 5k in their local area in April and raise money.
