A 5K, 10K and half marathon course were taken on by the sea of runners at Roundhay Park, in an event that was organised in support of St. Gemma’s Hospice.
One of the biggest city parks in Europe, runners set off downhill towards the park’s Lakeside Cafe, before an incline heading towards the Mansion. The route then levelled out on the main path through the park.
Hundreds more were in attendance to cheer on the runners. Yorkshire Evening Post photographer Steve Riding captured these pictures...
