At 7pm tonight (October 21), a fully signposted 10k walk commenced, starting in Millennium Square. The walkers, known as ‘Shiners’, are wearing glow in the dark T-shirts and accessories and people of all abilities can get involved.
The event is expected to raise up to £110,000 for Cancer Research UK, which funds research in the fight against cancer.
Here are some of the best pictures as the walk got underway.
