DA5873P2STONEHENGE School at Amesbury is entering a 49-strong team in this Sunday's Race for Life fundraiser from the Salisbury athletics track, near the Five Rivers leisure centre.

The event, for women only, has attracted some 1,200 entries from all parts of the district and competitors have the choice or running or walking five kilometres - with sponsorship from their efforts going to Cancer Research UK.

The Stonehenge School team, pictured here in their T-shirts, is made up of teachers and other staff, friends and former students.

A spokeswoman at the school said: "Last year we entered a team of 29 in the event and that seems to have encouraged more to come on board this year.

"It has special significance for us, as one of our teachers has been undergoing treatment for breast cancer."
