TIME is running out if you want to take part in this year's Globe-backed Cancer Research UK Race For Life.

There are just five weeks to go until this year's event in Birkenhead Park on Sunday May 11 and so far only 2990 people have signed up. But there are still 2010 places available.

Organisers of the event, which raises much-needed funds for research into the causes of this devastating disease, hope 5,000 women will put on the running shoes for the day.
