An impressive 1,460 completed the main 10k, organised as usual this year by Bognor’s Tone Zone Runners in conjuction with the Rotary Club of Bognor Hotham.

Peter Ramsdale, the race director, said: "It was a very enjoyable day and big thanks go to my team and all the other volunteers.

"A special thanks also to the near-1,800 runners and their supporters, including 300 children, who took part in the race and fun run. The town itself seemed to pull out all the stops with thousands of people coming to support along the course.”

It was a very warm day for the event, with little or no breeze on the return leg of the promenade.

There were two wheelchair entries this year and organisers hope to incease this side of the event in the future as they want to make the run as inclusive as possible.

The race charity partner Cancer United said it was a well organised event and they really enjoyed the day.

A total of 101 members of Tone Zone Runners took part – by far the biggest club contingent.

Before the main 10k, 280 youngsters completed the 1.5km Junior Fun Run.
