Almost 2,000 runners put their best feet forward in the popular event – hosted by Portadown Running Club – highlighting how it continues to grow in size and reputation each year.
Due to demand, a 5k route was introduced for 2025. This year’s festival also featured a Half Marathon and a 10k run.
Photographer Tony Hendron caught up with some of those who took part.
