Many of those who took part in the event were raising money for charity.

Anya Evans ran the 10k race for Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Appeal.

She said they helped when her daughter had life-saving surgery at Bristol Children’s Hospital.

“When my daughter was born, she had two heart defects and we spent two months in the hospital.

“She had surgery and it was a very difficult time for our family.

“The Grand Appeal charity made every day just a little bit less difficult.”
