A forthcoming event in Stockport is offering a number of women the chance to don their ladies running wear in order to raise cash for charity.

According to a news item published by the Stockport Sports Trust, as many as 1,500 females are expected to take part in the Woodbank Park race on Sunday (June 27th).

People who have entered the Cancer Research UK 5K Race for Life run will be able to warm up for their exercise with the help of Michelle Childs from the sports trust, the organisation has reported.

Speaking on the trust's website, its community sports development manager Neil Bardsley suggested that this weekend's event could inspire local women to get involved with running.

He stated: "Hopefully building on the success of this year's event, we can encourage more women and girls of all ages and fitness levels to take up jogging or running."

The Race for Life website gives women the chance to find out where their nearest fundraising run is taking place.
