Cancer Research UK's fundraising Race For Life is returning to Seaton Carew on Sunday, June 22.

Around 500 people have signed up so far who are expected to raise around £65,000. And there is still time to register.

The event takes place mainly along Hartlepool Promenade and runners can choose to enter 3k, 5k and 10k events.

Lisa Millett, Cancer Research UK's spokesperson in Hartlepool, said: "We're making a final call to people across the region to join us at Race for Life, as their participation and contribution is so important.
