In pictures: Hundreds of runners take to the streets for Northampton 5k and 10k

The event, which starts and ends at Sixfields Stadium, took place on Sunday May 31, with 10k runners setting off at 9am, followed by those completing the 5k course at 9.15am.

The route see roads closed around the Sixfields, Upton and Swan Valley areas, which organisers say makes for a perfect route to set a personal best.

Pacers were out on the course to help runners achieve their goals and there was also a juniors race at 10.45am.
