The 5k challenge attracted 357 runners and walkers to Queen’s Park where they did a double lap of the course to achieve the distance.
Philippa Back, Cancer Research UK divisional event manager, said: “It was a great event with the community of Chesterfield coming together to help beat cancer sooner. The participants were out in full force and even the wet weather couldn’t dampen their sprits.”
More than 10 million people have taken part in Race for Life events across the UK since 1994, raising £970 million towards life-saving cancer research.
