Steve Halsall said of Cancer Research UK's Take 5 Challenge:"Doing the 'Take 5 Challenge' and making five small changes to your everyday routine, which require little or no extra time, can have a huge beneficial effect on your fitness levels and general well-being, and even show you how easy it is to take that next step and sign-up for a Run 10k this year. Taking part in a Run 10k will also give you that feel-good factor and sense of achievement that is second-to-none!"

Birmingham City Football Club MD Karen Brady, who is backing the 'Take 5 Challenge' adds: "Encouraging a good work/life balance is crucial in keeping morale high and increasing motivation, commitment and engagement. Cancer Research UK's Run 10k 'Take 5 Challenge' encourages people to incorporate health and fitness into their busy lives, which is a great way for workers and their bosses to boost their sense of wellbeing. And by signing up to a Run 10k this year, people will be raising money for a fantastic cause at the same time."
