A RECORD field of around 250 took to the streets for The Griffin Grind run.
More than 100 children also completed the 1k kids' run which took place as well as the main five-mile race.
The event supports the Isabella Rose Foundation, formed in 2011 in memory of Isabella Rose Parr who was stillborn at 31 weeks old.
Parents Geoff and Amanda Parr were delighted with the success of the day, with their oldest son Harry, six, also taking on the kids' run.
The event also saw a gala day held at The Griffin pub, which many participants attended as they basked in the glorious weather.
"It was fantastic, we had a great response from people," said Geoff, 36.
"I'm absolutely delighted with the turnout and support and we've raised a lot of money to support families. We have got a lodge at Ribby Hall, we have started sending families who have suffered stillbirths.
"This could support running costs for a full year.
"The help from the marshals and all volunteers was phenomenal. we can't do the event without the people from our town.
"It was a great day. We've got fantastic support from local businesses and we are going to do it again next year."
The Isabella Rose Foundation added: "The Griffin have been fantastic with their support and really helped make this an event for the whole community."
