Fancy a day in the great outdoors and raising money to help beat cancer? Then Run 10k for Cancer Research UK is the perfect opportunity.

If you want to find out why some people have already commited to this good cause, just click on Tell Your Story and read about what has inspired others to take part. And if you want to encourage others you can easily add your own story and send it to friends and family, plus we'll print some of the most inspirational and entertaining in the paper during the coming weeks. Finally, to prove that we're not all do as we say and not as we do, our own Laura Tait will be running, and soon you can follow her training/lack of training in her blog where we'll also have some helpful training insights from her trainer.

Beautiful scenery, a great cause, and some exercise – all in all what's not to like?
