Thousands of runners took to the city's streets for Sunday's Hull 10k.

The sun also came out for the event, which saw those taking part dressed in an array of outfits as they raised money for charity.

One man, Kevin Blacker, ran the route dressed as a yellow submarine and there was a new course record time set in the men's race by Sam Roberts.

The race was organised by Run For All and the annual event was held in memory of Jane Tomlinson CBE.

Ms Tomlinson raised almost £2m for charity by taking part in endurance events around the world before her death from cancer in 2007.

Almost 80 streets were shut for the event in the city centre and Victoria Dock area.

Here are some pictures of today's event.
