Cancer Research UK is staging its Great Row event, urging people to notch up 26.2 miles in stages or in one go over March.

And to back the effort, would-be rowers will have free access to Better Leisure centres – including the Better Gym at the Pompey Centre, Dickinson Road, Fratton – every Friday if they’ve signed up to the event.
