STAFF at a York supermarket have swapped trolleys for trainers as they gear up for this year's Race For Life in the city.
Staff from the Tesco store at Askham Bar are already in training for the event, hoping to build on the great work done last year and help raise more than £17.5 million for Cancer Research UK. The Race For Life, sponsored by Tesco, will come to York for the sixth year on Sunday, May 11. The event will take place at the city's Knavesmire, at 11am. To date, nearly 1,500 women have signed up for the women-only 5km walk or run, raising funds for research into cancers that touch women's lives. This year, as part of the tenth anniversary celebrations of the event at national level, organisers are aiming to attract 10,000 women to take part in the York Race For Life.
Women can enter by phoning 08705 134 314 or logging on to www.raceforlife.org, or www.tesco.com
