Hundreds of runners are set to take part in Race for Men this weekend to raise money for Stars Appeal's Prostate Cancer Fund.

Organiser, Toby Giles, told Salisbury Radio that this year's event has one of its best responses yet, with hundreds of people set to take part in this year's race. However, it's not too late to join them!

Although online entries are now closed, those wishing to take part can sign up in person on the day to run any of the available distances. 

There are fun runs of 3k and 5k, which are open to all, 10k for those 15 or over, and a half-marathon for those 17 or older. All races are open to both male and female runners, with Under 5's able to take part for free. 

On the day registration opens at 8:30 am, with the first race starting at 10 am. 

Race For Men has raised £59,866 for the Stars Appeal Prostate Cancer and Urology fund, and organisers hope to add significantly to that number with this year's event.

Race for Men isn't just about the running, though, it's also a family fun day with music, touch rugby, food, and family fun - with the weather set fair, even if you don't want to run, there are plenty of ways to get involved and help raise money for Stars Appeal. 

The entertainment starts with Disco Dion at 12:15, features Sarums Lot and magic from Sean Bless, and ends with headliners The Few. Plus inflatables and other 

There are also plenty of food options and the Rude Giant bar, too.
