Still more runner - 12,000 were running this year.

Four of the hundred runners running for CoppaFeel!

Before the main runners return to the centre there was a family fun run.

The winner, Edwin Kipkorir, approaching the tape along Great Pulteney Street.

He wins - another Kenyan win at the Bath Half.

Look at those calf muscles.



A bit sweaty?
