The Stray will be covered in pink again this weekend for the Harrogate Race for Life.
About 1,100 people of all ages and abilities will take part on Sunday to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
Three races will be held, starting at the junction of Oatlands Drive and Slingsby Walk.
The 10 kilometre race will begin at 10am, followed by three kilometre and five kilometre events at 11am.
Participants are asked to arrive 30-45 minutes before the start.
Cancer Research UK organises more than 150 Race for Life events in the UK each year to fund the work of its scientists.
The charity expects the Harrogate event will raise about £102,000.
Entry is still open. It costs £14.99 for people aged 16 and over, £10 for children and under-6s are free. There is a minimum fundraising target of £50.
Cancer Research UK spokesperson for North Yorkshire Lisa Millet said
We’d love for as many people as possible to join us at Race for Life. There is a race for everyone, and we mean everyone.
Walk, jog, run or take on the course however it suits best.
It’s a chance to feel the power of moving together with fellow Race for Lifers and have fun with it.
