Over 900 men, women and children from across the country gathered together raising thousands of pounds for Cancer Research UK.

And it wasn't just the competition against others that exhilerated everyone but the atmosphere and sense of solidarity spurring people on to the finish line.
Louth Leader Champion 'Teacher of the Year' Chris Wood from Kidgate Primary School took part with 13 members of staff.
She said: "There was such a great atmosphere and feeling from the crowd. Everyone was cheering each other on and there was lovely team spirit. I will definitely be doing it next year".

The event surpassed the success of last year and raised an estimated £8000 in entry fees.
Winner was Janine Stone from Mablethorpe. She said: "It was a brilliant occasion and great so many people took part".
Janine started the race with her 90 year old grandmother, Eileen Hadden who opted for a steadier pace with Janine's sister, Katrina Simons from Tetford.
Janine said: "Next year I'll walk with granny and Katrina can try to win it!"

Once the added sponsors are in organisers believe £25,000 will have been raised altogether - £3000 more than last year.
In second place came Alex Sharp, 17 from Tetney and in third place was Sydney Cherrie from Louth.

The run is sponsored by local businesses including the Co-operative store who supplied the goody bags for entrants.
Ron Lodge, Area Manager for Breast Cancer Research said: "This is a superb event in the Louth calendar and credit for its success goes to the organising committee who work tirelessly raising funds for Cancer Research UK's vital work.
"Supporter led events could not happen without the participation of the community. Thank you to the Mayor for his attendance and everybody in Louth who took part in the event. I can't wait for an even bigger day next year."
