The team behind Salisbury's Race for Men event have handed their latest fundraising over to the Stars Appeal.

Another £4,018 has been given to the charity towards the Prostate Cancer Fund at Salisbury District Hospital.

The event at Hudson's Field back in June saw hundreds of people take part in 3K, 10K and half marathon runs for the cause.

For the first time this year, women were also welcomed into the routes, to support those with male cancer.

The fundraising for 2022 means that since the Race for Men was set up, it's raised £47,000 for the Stars Appeal, across six events.
