Nearly 200 runners took part in the Run Mawnan event which returned after a two-year break.

Runners of all ages gathered in the sunshine for the three different routes through the village and it was the youngsters who took the lead in the 5k race with two of the top three places being taken by under 18s.

The 1-mile children's fun run was as popular as ever with almost 100 primary school-aged children sprinting around the village in a race to the finish. The winner was 8-year-old Finlay Stevenson, followed closely by Ed Greville-Smith and Marley Wood. The first girl across the line was 11-year-old Willow Barnes followed by Matilda Pascoe and Elizabeth Hipwell.

Rotarian Rod Allday, Chairman of the Run Mawnan committee, said: "It's great to be back after a two-year break and to see so many people enjoying themselves in the sunshine. We're really grateful to all the local businesses who have supported us by providing some great prizes, and to all the volunteers who marshal the course and help in the event field." Rod also thanked Cath Horton, stepping down from the organising committee, for all her hard work coordinating the event over the past 10 years.
