The Dundee Race for Life has been delayed due to Radio 1’s Big Weekend being held in the city.

The Cancer Research UK annual fundraiser had been due to take place at Camperdown Park on Sunday June 18.

But organisers have been asked to move the event to later in the year.

The music festival takes place at Camperdown between May 26 and 28.

It is hoped that by moving the event, the park will have enough time to recover from Big Weekend.

New Race for Life date

Race for Life will now take place on Sunday July 30.

Lisa Adams, Cancer Research UK spokeswoman in Scotland, says she apologises for any inconvenience or disappointment the change in date causes.

She added: “We would love for as many people as possible to instead join us for Race for Life Dundee at Camperdown Park on Sunday July 30.”

Advice for existing participants

Participants who have already signed up for the June 18 date can transfer their entry to the new date.

If that does not suit, they can request a refund on their entry fee.

Refunds can be requested by contacting the Race for Life team on 0300 123 0770.
