The popular North Lincolnshire Half-Marathon brought runners to Scunthorpe from all over the country, including eight Mablethorpe Running Club members and friends.

The course was flat and on mainly closed roads alongside much of the Trent River Bank, but temperatures in the mid-20s made for very uncomfortable running.

It was not a day for personal bests as the heat certainly slowed many of the 1,561 finishers a little.
