Over 3000 runners took to the streets of Grimsby in England this week for the fourth annual Orsted Great Grimsby 10K race.
The event, which started at Grimsby’s town hall, took runners up through Bargate and on a tour of Scartho, down Louth Road and across the New Waltham bypass.
After a long straight stretch down Peaks Parkway, runners finished the race at People’s Park.
Orsted said the streets were adorned with applauding spectators and many event goers fed back that they felt supported by their community.
Orsted technical site supervisor Aaron McNish joined in with the event for the first time this year.
He said: “The public support was fantastic on the day. Everyone cheered you as you passed and it felt like the whole of Grimsby was out to support us.
“There was a real feel of team camaraderie as well and my colleagues were so keen to support each other before, during and after the race.”
Orsted also hosted a family friendly adventure trail at the finish line in the park.
On completion of the trail, participants were awarded with a free children’s book which aims to open up a conversation about climate change.
Orsted East Coast Hub head in Grimsby Darren Ramshaw said: “The majority of our workforce here in the Grimsby office live locally and it’s so important for us to give something back to our colleagues’ community.
“There was such a vibrant atmosphere down at the finish line and it was wonderful to see children so keen to learn about the effects of climate change in an empowering way.”
