Shrewsbury runners step out for Ukraine
More than 150 runners turned out in Shrewsbury to raise money for Ukraine.
The event took place at the town's Quarry park on Saturday with a 2.5 kilometre and a five kilometre event held.
Many racers wore the colours of the Ukraine flag, while some Ukrainians were watching the event and helping raise money
Peter Metcalfe and Justin Clekot are co-directors of Run UK AC, and professional race organisers.
They decided to donate all proceeds from the event to Oxfam for the Disasters Emergency Committee. In previous years Severn Hospice and Help for Heroes have benefited.
Justin said: "It was a good turnout helped by the weather and many people were wearing gold and yellow to run in or watch in, or those handing out water bottles.
"There was a mixture of serious and fun runners, with the best time in the 5k around 17 minutes but most of all it was a good event and the money raised, which is expected to be over £1,000 is going to a much needed good cause."
