Thousands of women have enjoyed the good weather during this weekend's Race for Life events around our region.

The first race was held in Clumber Park in Worksop, at 10am on Saturday, with another at 2pm. Around four thousand entered this race, in support of friends and family affected by cancer. Some are even battling it themselves.

The park then played host to another race on Sunday, at 10.30am, with around 3,500 entrants.
