Hundreds of women gathered over the weekend to walk, run or even dance their way through Abington Park and tell cancer 'hell hath no fury like a woman in pink' at Race for Life Northampton.

Two days of racing were held, with a Pretty Muddy 5km obstacle course with mud pits and slides on Saturday (June 3) and a 5km and a 10km race through the park on Sunday.
