A FUN run and family day has been organised by staff at an Ingleby Barwick gym on Sunday.

Staff at Bannatyne's Health Club are holding the event to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

The fun run starts at 11am from the health club car park, with a four-mile route for adults and a two-mile route for children.

Other activities include a football speed tunnel, where would-be soccer stars can practise their scoring skills.

There will also be a range of outdoor football activities organised by Middlesbrough Football Club's Community Program.

There will also be a bouncy castle, children's disco, raffles and stalls.

Tom Carter, Bannatyne's general manager, said: "We decided to support Cancer Research UK because the disease has affected the lives of many of our staff and members.

"Hosting the fun run and family day is a great opportunity to raise vital funds for an excellent charity, while promoting exercise and healthy living at the same time."
