Runners and walkers faced the heatwave head-on at Sunderland’s most recent Race For Life this weekend.
While temperatures on Saturday, June 27 peaked at 28°C, residents headed to Herrington Country Park to take part in the city’s latest Race For Life morning event.
The race sees people take on a 5k route across the park to raise money for Cancer Research UK and these are some of the best photos from throughout the morning of fundraising.
