PUPILS from Sanquhar Academy are taking part in a Race for Life to raise money for Cancer Research UK on Friday.

The S6 charity group and T. Mitchell have been planning the race since mid-June and are looking for members of the public to come along, line the route and cheer them on.

The 5km race will start at Sanquhar Academy on September 21 at 11am and the route will follow the surrounding country roads before reaching the finishing line at the athletic track.
