THOUSANDS of people descended on Tatton Park at the weekend to do their bit in helping to beat cancer.
Cancer Research UK's Race for Life and Pretty Muddy events took place on Saturday and Sunday.
Runners of all ages took part in the various races, which were split into 3km, 5km and 10km distances.
The Race for Life, run in partnership with Standard Life, raises funds for world-class research to help beat 200 types of cancer – including bowel, breast, prostate, lung, testicular, brain cancer, and children’s cancers, as well as leukaemia.
More than 4,200 people got involved in the races this year, and have so far raised more than £402,000 for the charity.
Cancer Research UK event manager, Victoria Lambert, said: "Huge thanks to everyone who took part in Race for Life Tatton Park and made it such a memorable weekend.
"Every penny raised will make a difference in Cancer Research UK’s life-saving research to help beat cancer."
Andy Curran, chief executive of Standard Life, said: “We are extremely proud to have been chosen as the headline sponsor of Race for Life.
“This sponsorship will help encourage participation and raise funds for life-saving research to help beat cancer."
More than 2,800 people completed the Pretty Muddy event, while 1,405 took part in the Race for Life.
