A BRADFORD-based charity is encouraging people to take on a new fitness challenge helping to raise money for cancer patients, as well as aiming to keep people active during lockdown. The Imran Khan Cancer Appeal (IKCA), based on Little Horton Lane, has introduced its Virtual 5k Challenge, where participants are tasked with running or walking a distance of 5k wherever they choose - whether it be their local park, their local area or even their back garden. Those taking part do not have to run or walk the entire 5k all at once, but must keep track of their steps by using a running or fitness app of their choice.
