Some 1,460 took part in the 5k event, held at the Princess Royal Sports Arena in aid of Cancer Research UK. It was hoped more than £130,000 would be raised for the cause as a result of their efforts. Olivia Molitor, area events manager for Cancer Research UK, said: “It was really good and we had a really good turnout. Luckily it didn’t start raining until half-an-hour before the end of the event.”
