Thousands of pounds raised

It's not about winning the race but more about winning the fight to help people with cancer. And thanks to you all hundreds of thousands of pounds has been raised.

Have a look at the impressive runners who did their bit in years gone by including 2005, 2006, 2007, 2010, 2018 and 2022. And if you are taking part on Sunday, well done - and be proud, very proud for making a difference.
