The annual race - organised by the Joining Jack charity - started at 10am this morning (Sunday) and as well as thousands of runners taking part, hundreds more lined up to cheer the racers on.

Little Jack Johnson got the race going and took part on a special scooter alongside his mum and dad Alex and Andy, who all crossed the finish line in less than an hour.
