Everyone proudly wore their medals after crossing the finish line.
The event is expected to raise thousands of pounds for Cancer Research UK.
Participants are being encouraged to give their sponsor money to the charity as soon as possible, so it can be used to fund research by scientists looking for new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat the disease.
