A HUGE photograph of Olympian Steve Cram promoting the Pennine Lancashire Run has gone on the back of a bus.

The event, which takes place in Blackburn in July, will raise cash for local charities including East Lancs Hospice, Pendleside Hospice and Derian House.

Cram is backing the event, organised by the Jane Tomlinson Foundation.

Thousands of people have already enrolled but there are still places available.

People are encouraged to run, jog or walk the event, which organisers hope will create a carnival atmosphere in the town.

The run starts from Witton Park on Sunday, July 11, at 9.30am. For details visit runforall.com.
