A charity is urging runners to sign up for the Vitality North London Half Marathon.

Macmillan Cancer Support is the official charity of the run on March 15, in which runners will start at Allianz Park before running to Wembley Stadium and then back to Allianz Park.

Olympic 5,000m and 10,000m champion Mo Farah has been chosen as the ambassador for the event.

Macmillan’s area fundraising manager for north London, Alexandra Barlow, said: “Be a part of Team Macmillan and every step will make a difference to people affected by cancer.

"No one should have to face cancer alone and events like the Vitality North London Half Marathon help us be there for people with cancer and their families when they need us most.”
