A charity is hoping 1,800 women will sign up for the first Ilkley Race for Life to raise £125,000 to help fight cancer.
On Sunday, May 29, Cancer Research UK and Tesco are bringing the country’s largest women-only fund-raising event to East Holmes Field.
More than 300 5km Race for Life events will take place across the UK. The races have raised more than £327 million for research into all types of cancer since 1994. Jenny Key, the Race for Life event manager for Ilkley, said: “We are asking Ilkley women to mark Sunday, May 29, in their diaries now and invite their mums, daughters, sisters, friends and colleagues to take part with them.
“Race for Life has a comfortable atmosphere with local women of all ages, shapes, sizes and fitness abilities coming together to make a positive difference to the lives of people touched by cancer.”
Other Race for Life events are being held in Bradford and Skipton. To enter, go to raceforlife.org or call 0871 641 1111.
