VIDEO: Race For Life 2013

Towneley Park was transformed with a sea of pink as legions of women took on the 5km race which hopes to raise £55,000 for Cancer Research UK.

Despite a drizzly start there was a real party atmosphere with women of all ages joining in the fun of the occasion.

Many people were taking part and raising money in memory of friends who have died from cancer and to support those still battling the disease.

Scores of people lined the route to cheer on the runners in the race which was won by 13-year-old Cliviger girl Alice Pier who crossed the line in a time of 19:31.
