Families come together in Derry to run for Action Cancer

Over 250 families, friends and colleagues paired up for the Centra Run Together event along the Quay Walkway in Derry to raise vital funds for local charity Action Cancer.

Run Together is a set of four 5k races taking place across Derry, Belfast and Mid Ulster between June and October which encourage you to run with your partner, son, daughter, friend or neighbour, while raising money and awareness for Action Cancer.

The event saw more than 125 pairs make their way along the Quay Walkway, across the Peace Bridge and into St Columb’s Park before crossing the finish line to receive a bespoke medal, T-shirt and goody bag.

Centra Derry Trench Road store owner, David Kelly said: “Centra Run Together was a great success in Derrywith family and friends pairing up to motivate and support each other around the course whilst helping raise funds for Action Cancer.

“It was a fun and novel way to motivate you and your running buddy to get fit and was great to see so many people from Derry and the wider community get involved,” he added.
