Emma Emma Colbourne, of Cancer Research UK, added: "It went really well.

"This year we moved the course to a double lap route of Queens Park and this worked really well.

"It was a glorious day for it too so it had a really lovely atmosphere with people staying in the park after to make a day out of it."
