Fun, fitness and fundraising at the Middlesbrough 3K Fun Run



Runners of all ages put their best foot forward today when they took part in the Middlesbrough 3K Fun Run.


People dressed up for the Taylor Wimpey Tees Pride 10k, which was this year celebrating its 10th anniversary.


And runners were raising money for a host of different charities and good causes.


Crowds of people cheered the runners on when they competed in the race this morning, which started and finished in Hall Drive, Acklam.


The race was won by 13-year-old Josh Cowperthwaite from Acklam, Middlesbrough.


He said: “I’m really pleased. I came third last year so it’s great to win this time.”


Lorna Redpath, 13, from Great Ayton, was the first girl to cross the finish line.


She said: “This is the first time I have done this event. It has been great. The atmosphere was really good.”
