Thousands of pounds have been raised for Wakefield Hospice as a result.

Alex Cunniff, Events Fundraiser at Wakefield Hospice, said: "Firstly and most importantly, thank you to all our runners who entered our 10K and 1k Mini Run on Sunday. Your support, generosity and participation all helping raise funds for patient care, we thank you.

"Every runner, every penny, every moment counts.

"It was amazing to see both new and old faces watching in the crowds and crossing the finish line. The event had a beautiful community feel and the hospice is so thankful for everyone’s support.

"Thanks must also go to all the many people who made this event happen: Our generous sponsors The Card Factory Foundation, our suppliers, our officials and our huge team of hospice volunteers."
