OVER 2,500 runners, with some coming from as far as New Zealand, weaved through the sunny streets of Bradford for the 10th annual Epilepsy Action 10k race this morning.
This year the event had to be postponed from its usual mid March date due to the effects of the "Beast From the East," which brought freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall to the UK.
But the postponement did little to put off runners - yesterday's race was hailed as the biggest yet, with all available places filled. So far the 2018 race has raised £42,000 for the charity.

And the delay in the race turned out for the best - as runners were bathed in sunshine for much of the morning.
The race, raises money for Yeadon based Epilepsy Action, and in the 10 years since the first race around £430,000 has been raised by the event, which has seen more than 10,000 runners take part.
The race began in Centenary Square, with Lord Mayor of Bradford Councillor Abid Hussain sounding the starting horn at 9am.
The route took the 2,500 through Little Germany before moving to Canal Road, where they ran most of the way to Shipley before returning to the city centre.
Recording the quickest time was Joe Sagar, 24, who completed the race in 32 minutes 39 seconds. It was the third time in a row the Cleckheaton runner, who is a member of Spenborough AC, has won the race.
After crossing the finish line he told the Telegraph & Argus: "It was really windy. This is always a tough race, I always forget just how tough it is. The route is so open so it gets really windy.
It is a bit warmer being a few weeks later. 
"It feels really good to win - I didn't think I'd win it this time because I've recently been out with an injury."
The fastest female runner was Hannah Oldroyd, 30, who completed the 10k in 36 minutes and 39 seconds. 
Mrs Oldroyd is originally from Baildon, and was running with Saltaire Striders, but currently lives in New Zealand. She had been in the UK for last week's London marathon, and when she found this race had been moved to the week after, decided to enter.
After finishing the race said: "I live in New Zealand, so I couldn't do the original March date for the race. It was great I was able to do it in the end. I'd come back for the London Marathon, which I'd got a personal best in.
"Its surprising I finished where I did, as I'd had a few pints last night and only about three hours sleep."
The Alice Redmond prize was awarded to the fastest male and female aged 21 and under. 
The prize is awarded in memory of Alice Redmond, who was involved with the development of the Bradford 10k. It was presented by Steve and Liv Redmond, Alice’s parents, to Phoebe Francis, of Bingley Harriers running club and Lukas Benes.
Simon Wigglesworth, deputy chief executive for the charity, said: "This is the biggest race we've had. 2,500 runners is more than we've ever had before. 
"Although we had to cancel the race in March, the majority of people who had signed up decided to do the race on this date. Some couldn't, but we filled all the spaces. The weather today is much better than it would have been in March.
"There are racers here today from all over Yorkshire. The majority are from local running clubs, but there are some from further afield."
Local clubs well represented in the race include Saltaire Striders and Queensbury RC.
Cllr Hussain was at the finish line when many of the runners finished, doling out high fives and posing for photos. 
After the race he said: "It was great to see such a lovely event in great weather this morning. God was on our side. There were lots of competitors here today, I'm glad so many people took part. There were over 2,500 people here, and this is an event that really brings people together. It is fantastic."
