Runners, united in their bid to beat cancer, walked or ran through the park, supported by friends and family who watched on from the sidelines.

Organisers were hoping the event - which took place on Sunday - would raise more than £100,000 for Cancer Research UK.

The event, run in partnership with Tesco, saw women from across the area take on either a 5k or 10k route around the park.
