But Cancer research UK has shelved 400 races to ‘protect the public’s health’ under the pandemic.
This includes the Race for Life 5K and 10K at Hartlepool Promenade, which can no longer take place on Sunday, October 4, which had been rescheduled from Sunday, June 28.
But in the meantime, why not enjoy our look back on the superb ways you have supported the race in years gone by.
