hat better incentive to get fit in the
new year, than to enter the annual
Race for Life organised by Cancer
Research UK.
The charity is calling on women of all shapes
and sizes to show cancer who’s boss by
entering Race for Life 5k or 10k events at
Newbury Showground.
Although many see January as the perfect
opportunity to start a new chapter in terms of
health and fitness, motivation can slip as the
cold weather drags on.
That’s where Race for Life comes in. The
event takes place at 11am on Sunday, July 2,
so women who enter now will be creating
their own compelling goal to aim for later in
the year, when the warmer weather makes
staying on the sofa less tempting.
Cancer Research UK’s Newbury event
manager Michelle Leighton said: “Signing up
to take part in Race for Life is a great way for
women to commit to get a little more active.
“Taking part is not about being fit or fast and
participants can choose to walk, jog or run
around the course. Planning to raise money
for life-saving research could prove more of
an incentive to get up and get moving than
the usual new year’s resolution to shift the
post-Christmas pounds.”
Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life, in
partnership with Tesco, is an inspiring
women-only series of 5k, 10k, Pretty Muddy
and marathon events that raise millions of
pounds every year to help beat cancer sooner
by funding life-saving research.
Money raised through Race for Life allows
Cancer Research UK’s doctors, nurses and
scientists to advance research which is
helping to save the lives of men, women
and children across the UK.
Michelle continued: “Race for Life is an
amazing way to celebrate everyone we
love who has survived cancer. It’s also an
emotional and moving way to pay tribute to
those dear to us whose lives have been cut
short by the disease.
