Charity run in Harrogate set to mark 30 years of fundraising

Thirty years of fundraising for Cancer Research UK will be celebrated on the Stray in Harrogate this summer.
The Race for Life will offer participants routes of 3km, 5km and 10km as the national event marks its 30th anniversary.
It has already raised more than £920 million for research into ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer.
Cancer Research UK’s spokesperson in Yorkshire, Michaela Robinson-Tate, said:
“We’d love for as many people as possible across Harrogate to join us during our 30th year of Race for Life.
"Race for Life is a powerful way to celebrate and remember loved ones affected by cancer and to raise money for pioneering research.
“Whether people are living with cancer, taking part in honour of or in memory of a loved one with cancer or signing up to protect their own children’s future, everyone has a reason to Race for Life.
“Sadly 1 in 2 of us will get cancer in our lifetime, but support through events like Race for Life funds groundbreaking work to see more people surviving cancer.
“For some, the Race for Life is literally a walk in the park. Slow and steady still wins. For others, it’s a jog. Others may opt to push themselves harder and take part in the 10K distance. But what is for certain is we’re looking forward to welcoming people of all ages and abilities.”
Taking place on Sunday, July 9, the event is open now for bookings. Anyone who signs up in January can get 50% off the entry fee by using code RFL23NY.
