More than 1,700 runners took to the streets for the annual Hall Smith Whittingham Nantwich 10K, writes Jonathan White.
Participants enjoyed a scenic route in glorious Spring sunshine.
The popular event, organised by RunThrough, saw competitors of all abilities tackle the 6.2-mile course on closed roads, starting and finishing near Nantwich town square.
The Wheelchair Race was dominated by Josh Hickinbottom, who retained his title with a commanding finish in 28:09.
In the men’s category, Andrew Moore (Bangor University AC) claimed first place with a time of 31:25, while Katie Latham (Nantwich Running Club) secured the women’s title in 36:56.
All finishers were rewarded with a specially designed medal, a goodie bag, and an official chipped time.
