St Theresa’s Athletic Club (STAC) has been running the 10 mile on and off road "all the mud and all the hills" run since 2016.

The run through Leeds' Temple Newsam Estate includes the ominously named "cardiac hill." Here are the top 10 best photos from Sunday's event as taken by the YEP's Simon Hulme.

Despite Covid 773 runners took part on Sunday, not far off their best turnout of 839.
