SIR – On Sunday, I was one of the runners that took part in the Bradford City Run.

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all those residents that lined the route – it really does help when you are there encouraging us, clapping and cheering us on.

A big thank you to the residents that supplied us with cups of water – it was a welcoming sight to see tables set up at the roadside, it was a warm day and these midway refreshments helped to keep us going, and not forgetting the lady with the tray of jelly babies.

It was a wonderful event which showed just how beautiful Bradford and its people are.
