  Cancer Research UK Race for Life, supported by Tesco, is the UK's largest women only 5km fundraising event, open to women of all ages and fitness levels. There are 280 races taking place across the UK and we hope to bring 800,000 women together to raise £60 million that will go directly to Cancer Research UK's scientists to help beat cancer.
  
  Cancer Research UK's Race for Life offers the perfect opportunity to start taking regular exercise and maintain a healthy body weight. The events encourage women of all ages and levels of fitness to train and participate. For many women Cancer Research UK's Race for Life is an annual occasion, while for others 2007 will be the first time they take part.
  
  Some women are cancer survivors while others run or walk in memory or to celebrate the lives of family, friends or loved ones, making the race experience both emotional and inspiring. At each event around the country there is the same, overwhelming sense of pride and sisterhood.
  
  Since Race for Life began back in 1994, over 2.7 million women across the UK have taken part, raising over £140 million to fund the charity's pioneering work to help beat cancer. Every pound raised in sponsorship goes directly to the scientists, doctors and nurses who work ambitiously to find new treatments.
  
  The Race for Life in Marlborough is in its 3rd year at Marlborough College, is expected to raise £135,000 in 2007, by bringing together 1500 local women.
  Hannah Davies - Marlborough Race Organiser said: " I'd really urge every woman to take part in 2007, as it's such an inspiring day and the money raised really does make an invaluable contribution to beating cancer."
