Overview
- The King cheered participants at the Sandringham event partnered with Move Against Cancer, standing with ambassador Sarah Byatt as runners passed their first-lap marker.
- He attended as a spectator rather than running, returning to the same event for a second consecutive year ahead of World Cancer Day on 4 February.
- The 5K Your Way program invites anyone affected by cancer to walk, jog, run, cheer or volunteer at more than 120 parkrun events on the last Saturday of each month.
- Co‑founder Dr Lucy Gossage said the visit “means the world” and helps shift perceptions of living with cancer, echoing the King’s emphasis on exercise and early diagnosis.
- The appearance came after the US Department of Justice released new Epstein files that renewed scrutiny of Prince Andrew, making this the King’s first public outing since those disclosures.
