EXHILARATION and a touch of sunburn were on the faces of the women who finished Craven's Race for Life on Sunday.
Two thousand women arrived at Broughton Hall estate to walk, jog or run the five-kilometre course while raising money for Cancer Research UK.
The event was Craven's second such race and there were 600 more participants than in 2003.
Last year's race raised £76,000 and it is hoped that this year's total will exceed £80,000. The money is used for pioneering research into cancer to improve prevention and treatment and to find a cure.
Team spirit and celebration of life were two of the many themes of the day, but thoughts of those who had lost their lives to cancer, were suffering from the disease or had survived it, were never far away.
Many people ran in groups and teams. JCJ Locum, Silsden Medical Centre, Skipton Building Society and the Craven Herald reporters were just four of many combined efforts.
