Adrian Harris, Fun Run lead, said “It was a great occasion and everyone, both runners and spectators, appeared to have a good time.
“We were blessed with good weather so the spectators at Arden were able to enjoy the day and enjoy a hot dog, burger and especially an ice cream.
“For the first year since Covid, it felt like a community event as the streets of Knowle were lined deep with supporters in a party mood.
“Many runners said how nice it was that so many turned out to cheer them around the route.”
