RACE for Life is coming back to Heaton Park next month and this is how you can get a free place.

Women are being invited to sign up for the Cancer Research UK event and take advantage of 1,000 free places, on offer from Tesco and the Manchester Evening News.

Tesco has been the proud partner of Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life for 17 years.

The 1,000 free places are on offer for the Manchester event, which takes place on 15 July in Heaton Park.

The first 1,000 women to sign up at raceforlif­e. org will be given a free place to the event.

Tesco Group communicat­ions director Jane Lawrie said: “Race for Life brings together hundreds of thousands of people across the UK who are all committed to raising money to support life-saving cancer research.

“We’re proud to be the official partner for the seventeent­h year.

“We’re giving away 1,000 free places in Manchester and the surroundin­g areas so that we can help get even more women involved.

“Whether they choose to walk, jog or run around the course, every little step helps. Our colleagues can’t wait to join everyone at the start line again this year.”

Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life is an inspiring women-only series of 5k, 10k, Pretty Muddy, Half Marathon and Hiking events which raise millions of pounds every year to help beat cancer sooner by funding crucial research.

Emily Smith, head of events marketing for Cancer Research UK, said: “We’d like to thank Tesco for their continued support and we hope that women in Manchester and the surroundin­g areas are inspired to join the fight at Race for Life.

“By signing up to Race for Life, women can make a real difference in the fight against cancer. Money raised will help Cancer Research UK sci- entists and doctors find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat the disease, helping save more lives.

“By taking their place at the start line, women can unite against a disease that affects us all in some way.”

Free registrati­on is available to the first 1,000 people who enter Race for Life using the promo code LP2118. Places are subject to availabili­ty and are allocated on a ‘first come, first served’ basis
