Records have been broken at this year's Jane Tomlinson Run for All 10K event
Around 5,500 participants, from the ages of three to 85, descended on Leeds for one of the biggest running events in the Yorkshire region.
She said:" It was just as hard as last year, that last hill at 8-9k was hard work, but then it's all downhill to the finish and the crowds are really really fun."The race was first run in 2007, the brainchild of amateur athlete and fundraiser Jane Tomlinson. Having raised £1.8million for charity while she was battling terminal cancer, she and her husband Mike established the Leeds 10K as her lasting legacy to continue the fundraising vehicle for charities that she had started.
"I can't speak for others, but for me it's a massively emotional day and I feel like I need to cry if I'm being honest."
