5,000 take part in Plymouth Race for Life
Warm temperatures made the task a real challenge for some, but the importance of supporting the cause saw the runners complete the task.
Thousands of supporters also flocked to the Hoe watch their loved ones participate.
Organisers believe a staggering £222,000 was raised in sponsorship.
Many runners wore pink, with some going further and dressing as angels, fairies or sporting pink wigs.
Many wore cards on their backs, some including photographs, dedicating their run to a friend or relative.
Event manager, Scott Renken, praised each and every participant in the Race for Life.
He said: “Once again it has been absolutely amazing. We have more than 5,000 women here today who are all, without exception, inspiring.
“They are each doing something incredible on behalf of something they feel very strongly about.
“It’s just inspiring to watch and be part of.”
