Runners will be taking to the streets to get some training in before the summer return of the popular Race for Life in Newcastle.
The city favourite returns to the Town Moor this July for two days of fund-raising fun and there is still time to sign up to share in the occasion. Several Race for Life events take place across the region - including upcoming runs in Durham on July 3 - and the Newcastle one is always hugely popular, including a range of options from a 5k run to a full-on Pretty Muddy obstacle course.
Race for Life is an annual charity event for Cancer Research UK and its regionwide runs, open to all ages and abilities, can be walked if preferred so there's no pressure to take those training sessions too seriously. They are seen as an ideal opportunity just to enjoy some fresh air and exercise with family and friends while raising money for a good cause.
