A record 8,500 runners took part in a race Sunday morning to help raise S$700,000 in the fight against cancer.

Acting Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports Chan Chun Sing flagged off the Race Against Cancer at East Coast Park.

Besides the fun run, there were also competitive runs of 10 kilometres and 15 kilometres.
