THE water at the Metrodome will be turning pink today to kick off the countdown to the first Race for Life in Barnsley.
Cancer Research UK is bringing Race for Life to Locke Park on July 4 and is hosting a pink pool party at the Calypso Cove waterpark featuring a DJ playing hits from the poolside.
Harry Hardicker, area events manager for Cancer Research UK, said he hoped the event would encourage people to sign up to take part in the race. “It’s the first time we’ve brought Race for Life to Barnsley and this is the launch of our campaign to get people involved,” he said.
The event is today from 10am until 1pm.
