RUNNERS took to the Outwood Trail to raise money for St Ann's Hospice.

The sponsored 5km race was organised by Mr Jim Rhodes, of Shakespeare Avenue, Radcliffe, who has been fund-raising for the hospice ever since his own parents were treated there in 1979.

British half-marathon champion Paul Freary won the race and Mr Rhodes himself came first in the over-60s category.

The Masons Arms pub provided the much-needed liquid refreshment for those who completed the run.
