Runners set off from the Comedy Carpet opposite the Blackpool Tower, and raced to South Pier, passing stages along the way where local musicians and singers entertained. There was a 5K and a 10K race and the organisers say they are already planning next year's event. Luke Taylor said: "It was a fantastic atmosphere and we had more than 600 entries for the 10K and around 150 for the 5K.
