Runners up to the challenge

- By DEBORAH HALL

THOUSANDS of runners turned out in force for the highly anticipated INEOS Hull 10K, starting and finishing at the iconic Sewell Group Craven Park Stadium - home to triumphant Challenge Cup winners Hull KR.

Marking a new exciting chapter for the annual race, it returned with an appealing new course and title sponsor, Hull-based chemical manufacturing site, INEOS.

With a vibrant mix of first-timers, club runners and charity fundraisers, the event once again showcased Hull's strong community spirit and passion for fitness with a brand-new route.

Organised by Jane Tomlinson's Run For All for over a decade, the event continues to grow in stature, attracting participants of all abilities and ages from across the region. Spectators lined the streets to cheer runners along the fast and flat course that weaved through the city centre and incorporated the East Park Loop.
