For the first time in two years, a local cross country meeting was held in Dumfries.
It was organised on Saturday by John Allison, the active schools co-ordinator for Dumfries and Galloway Council and Dumfries Running Club.
Starting from the McLeod Pavilion at Castledykes, each route was carefully chosen to test competitors on the soft ground that was less spongy and boggy than expected after an unusually dry January.
