Video shows Chesterfield Race for Life runners in Queen's Park
The 5k run for Cancer Research UK is always a big event on the calendar and the picturesque park was brimming with colour and excitement on Sunday.
The event saw the runners complete two laps of the park and Boythorpe Avenue, a different route to previous years to try and limit traffic disruption.

Spectators lined the park to cheer their friends and families over the finish line.
A special mention must also go to the volunteers who gave up their time to make sure the event went smoothly.
The event is organised by Chesterfield Borough Council and Cancer Research UK.
