EVERYONE is invited to Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life in Knutsford.

The charity’s much-loved events are returning to the town but are no longer restricted to female participants.

Anyone who signs up in January can claim a special 30 per cent off the entry fee* by using the code RFLJAN30.

The Race for Life events take place at Tatton Park on Saturday, June 20 and Sunday, June 21 and are open to people of all ages and abilities.

Caitlin Holme, Cancer Research UK’s Event Manager for Tatton Park, said: “This year our Race for Life events are open to everyone.

“We’re sending a heart-felt message to anybody who’s thought about signing up in the past but for one reason or another hasn’t got around to it.

“This is your year – please seize the opportunity to register in January and become part of the Race for Life community.

Knutsford Guardian:

“Our events are fun, colourful, emotional and uplifting. Participants take part at their own pace – taking as much time as they like to complete the course. For some people, the Race for Life is literally a walk in the park. For others, it’s a jog or a run.

“Although ‘Race’ features in the name, our events are not competitive. Instead, ‘the Race for Life’ is about our doctors, nurses and scientists working as hard and fast as possible to help more people survive.”

Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life, in partnership with Tesco, is a series of 5k, 10k, Pretty Muddy and Pretty Muddy Kids events which raise millions of pounds every year to help beat cancer by funding crucial research.

Caitlin added: “This January we’re urging mums, dads, nans, grandpas, brothers, sisters, friends and workmates to show their support by joining the Race for Life.

“It’s a perfect example of everyday people doing an extraordinary thing – uniting in a common cause to beat cancer.

“Please go to the Race for Life website, choose an event, and sign up today.”
