Staff from Hingleys Chemist at Hollymoor Medical Centre after completing the Race for Life
Thousands of women and girls took part in the first Race for Life at Cofton Park, Longbridge on Sunday.
The rain took a break and the sun shone as participants completed the 5k course to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
There was a fantastic atmosphere as women of all shapes, sizes and ages walked, jogged, ran, or even marched (!) around the beautiful park.
Here are a few of the pictures we took – using mobile phones, I’m afraid! If you have any photos to add, please email us!
