THOUSANDS of women have crossed the finish line of this weekend's Race for Life in York.
Over two days York's Knavesmire hosted three different races - from the brand new "Pretty Muddy" obstacle course event on Saturday to today's 5k and 10k races.
The events are expected to have raised between £200,000 and £300,000 for Cancer Research UK, organisers said.
The all-women races were today set off by researcher Dr Ryan Matthews - who told the racers that "without the runs, without the cake sales, and the sponsored swims,and all the things that people do, I wouldn't have the funding and the resources to carry on my research and hopefully make a better outcome for our cancer patients.
"Thank you all. Race like you've never raced before, and thank you for all the money that you have raised."
