"We thoroughly enjoyed cheering and getting to know our runners, who we cannot thank them enough.
"Their hard work and dedication will contribute towards supporting all those affected by emotional pain, to support Change from Within in order that they can thrive in their lives."
The charity said the event is becoming a key part of its fundraising calendar, with growing support from the community each year.
In response to rising interest, it has increased its entry places to 80 for next year’s event.
