It was the 34th running of the half marathon while for the very first time, organisers introduced a new 10km race, which almost 400 runners took part in and saw it labelled a huge success by both the participants and the organisers.

More than 1,200 runners registered for the half marathon as the event raised almost £6,000 for official charity St Catherine’s Hospice.

Race director Vernon Jennings said: “I couldn’t be happier with the way that the day went. Launching the new 10k race was not easy and presented my committee with some testing challenges.
