Many had the names of the loved ones in whose memory they were taking part written on their T-shirts.

The route started and finished on the main field in the shadow of the amazing Penshaw Monument.

It went around the park, where participants could take in views of the local scenery as well as wildlife.

The course was mainly on footpaths, with a couple of hills along the way.
