IT'S the St Helens 10k this Sunday and these wonderful pictures capture the spirit and stories of those who have helped make it such a landmark occasion.
Starting as an idea from the late, great Steve Prescott, intending to get St Helens fit and healthy, it has blossomed into an event that celebrates people's triumph, joy and determination.
Can you spot yourself among the photos?
