The event saw participants complete a 3k, 5k, or 10k route around the park to raise vital cash to help the charity’s work. This year marks the 30th year of Race for Life with hundreds of people from across Falkirk district taking part in the local event at the weekend.
Money raised at the events enable scientists to find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer, helping to save more lives. More than £53,000 has been raised so far from this year’s local events.
Falkirk Herald photographer Michael Gillen was in the park on Sunday morning and captured these images from the warm up and start of the 10k event.
