Families and neighbours are due to head to London to raise money for research into cancer.
The 18 women from Chigwell will enter the five kilometre Race for Life at Regent’s Park on Saturday in aid of Cancer Research UK.
One of the runners, Sonia Patel, 26, of Mount Pleasant Road, said: “I did it with my friend last year and when I mentioned it to my mum, she told her friends and family and we decided to do it together.
“Some of us have lost people through cancer, so we decided to get together.”
The women will run in Spanish-themed fancy dress and hope to raise £500.
