The popularity of the event has grown over the years thanks to its welcoming atmosphere and the steady course which presents a great route for seasoned runners or those looking to complete their first ever 10K.
They included athletic teams, friends, work colleagues, all taking the time – and energy – to raise funds for many charities.
A powerful display of community spirit was on display as 86 staff members from Pontefract Academies Trust came together to run in support of a teacher from Carleton High School and her family.
Staff from across the Trust have raised almost £10,000 so far for teacher Laura Stephenson’s young son, Oliver, who is bravely facing a second battle with neuroblastoma.
