A large field entered the ‘Liberation 7’ road race – which has been staged since 1946.
182 runners toed the line at Rousse before making their way towards town via L’ancresse, Bordeaux, and the Bridge.

This year’s fastest man and woman were James Priest and Lindsay Sword crossing the line in 38:07 and 45:08 respectively.
The top three male runners included Ethan Woodhead and Matthew Jamieson in 39:01 and 39:08, while Chloe Truffit was second woman home in 45:46, followed by Laura Cornelius in 46:27
The field included two entrants in the ’70+’ category.
James Maguire crossed the finish line in 70:37 with Trevor Jefferies finishing in 83:42.
