Last year some 730 participants, including students, local residents, charity workers and club runners, took part in the thirteen mile fundraiser, which began at Bristo Square and comprised a total of seven laps around the meadows, before returning to its starting point at the end.
The half-marathon was characteristically coloured by a number of inventive costumes, including salmon, Smurfs and giraffes. However, the title of best costume was awarded to a trio of runners from Scottish Love in Action (SLA), who combined to form an elaborately designed Loch Ness Monster.
As well as contributing to the festivities with a sophisticated form of fancy dress, SLA were singled out for recruiting a total of 70 runners, 30 of whom headed north from Durham University.
Many of the runners were great sports for wearing our SLA chicken outfit and hats to publicise SLA, well done everyone and hopefully see you again this year!
