Summary of Group:
We are a volunteer led group to encourage those living with and beyond cancer, families, friends, and those working in cancer services to walk, jog, run, cheer or volunteer at our local parkrun at the beautiful Nant y Pandy Nature Reserve on the last Saturday of every month.
As 5k Your Way Move Against Cancer Groups provide opportunities to walk, jog, cheer or volunteer within a parkrun event, they operate within parkrun's guidelines and do not necessarily have qualified Run Leaders to lead the activity within the terms of their licence.
