Runners pound the streets in Cumbernauld’s 10k

Weeks of training came to fruition for a total of 458 runners who took part in the annual event.

Junior runners also braved the elements to take part in a 3K run and 1K run before the main race kicked off at 11am.

Before the 10K started at 11am, runners were offered a moment of calm as a minute silence was held to mark the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

Among the 10k runners was the News and Chronicle’s own Martin Dalziel, who was fund-raising for Yorkhill Children’s Hospital.
