More than 2,000 runners tackled the tough 13.1-mile course on a sunny day, while thousands more turned out to cheer them on.
Three of the first five men home were local, as are two of the first three women.
On this page and the ones linked, we have another 242 photos – many taken by Frank Copper at or near the start.
If you ran, you may well be able to see yourself in one of the photos.
See a gallery of 197 photos – most taken of the runners as they made their way along St Vincents Road – here and on this page and those linked, see photos from the start, the finish and more from St Vincent’s Road.
The Claremont Mini Run also saw hundreds of youngsters compete. See some footage of that event in the video player above and see those results here.
