Sunday’s participants were cheered on by enthusiastic volunteers and locals as they crossed the finish line at Whitehall Recreation Ground.

Matt Wood, Co-Founder of RunThrough, said: “We couldn’t have asked for a better turnout this year.

"It’s incredible to see the local community and runners from across the UK come together for such a special event.

"Rugby has a fantastic running culture, and this race continues to grow into one of the Midlands’ must-run half marathons.”
