Carver Wolverhampton Half Marathon events 2018: Crowds cheer on 1,800 taking part
People ran, walked and cycled through the streets for this year's Carver Wolverhampton Half Marathon events.
The revamped event, which saw the marathon dropped to focus on shorter distances, was being held in the city today based at West Park.
It came after organisers decided to end the marathon due to falling numbers of participants.
More emphasis was placed on the half marathon event, creating extra spaces, the cycling race and 10k.
Five events made up the day including the half marathon, Banks's 10km run, Cousins' 20k and 10k cycle events, the Callprint Walk in the Park and Paycare Mini Marathon.
While it is the fastest athletes who take the spoils, others were applauded along the route as they battle gruelling personal challenges.
