Runners pounded the pavements of Middlesbrough in the town’s half marathon this morning (Sunday, March 3).

Almost 2,700 runners took part in the 13.1-mile race on a circular route through Albert Park, past the Riverside Stadium, along the Tees and finishing back at Centre Square.

For some of the taking part the race was all about speed but one pair was seen taking on the route while juggling three balls.

Jasmine Clarke was the fastest woman completing it in one hour, eighteen minutes and twenty-two seconds.

In the junior race of just under 700m around Central Square Hartlepool Athletics club member Albert Brown clocked a winning time of two minutes thirty-eight seconds.

It is the second time the event, in aid of the Teesside Family Foundation, has taken place after a successful first outing last year.

Roads around the town centre were closed while the race took place.
