A POPULAR running race is returning to Basingstoke this summer when lockdown restrictions ease further next month.
People are being urged to join Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life that will be held in Basingstoke on August 14.
The charity’s much-loved events are aiming to return to the town this summer but with socially distanced measures to keep participants safe. Money raised will help scientists find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer, saving lives as the charity fights back from the impact of the pandemic.
The Race for Life events which take place at Down Grange Sports Complex are open to people of all ages and abilities. Events include a 3K, 5K, 10K as well as Pretty Muddy, a mud-splattered obstacle course.
This year, participants will set off on the Race for Life course either alone or in small, socially distanced groups..
Anyone who signs up between June 21 and July 4 can claim a special 30 per cent off the entry fee by using the code RFLJUNE30. People can visit raceforlife.org to enter.
