HUNDREDS of people hopped it to Greenhead Park to help celebrate a 100th race.

More than 300 runners of all ages took part in Huddersfield Parkrun at the weekend.

And they helped smash a course attendance record, with many dressed in bunny outfits to help mark the special occasion.

Launched less than two years ago, the free weekly Saturday event has fast grown to become one of the biggest of its kind in the country.

Fitness fans aged from five to 80 don their running shoes to take on the timed 5km challenge.

The weekend’s race included a special Golden Carrot relay, inspired by the run’s rabbit mascot.

And despite the relatively early 9am start, people were keen to jump out of bed and join in the fun.

Event director Kerry Noble said: “We had 357 runners and 35 volunteers, the course record for Huddersfield which is really good.

“There was a fantastic atmosphere, it was a really good family event.

“As it was the 100th run, we had the carrot relay and there were quite a few bunny ears going on.

“We also had someone running in a full bunny outfit, which happens every week.”

The relay featured three participants to a team as they sprinted 500 metres, passing a carrot as a baton.

A team of teachers from Colne Valley and Moorlands schools even joined in the fun, along with their own paper carrots.

The race was won by Huddersfield’s own The Terriers on Town, followed by the Mo Farahs and Bradford-based the Three Amigos.

Kerry said: “Our man in the bunny suit this week was Rich McLeod, from Holmfirth, who managed to kick his carrot baton.

“He’s gone from trying out for the Paralympics triathlon team this week to running around in a bunny costume.”

The run marks its second birthday on April 6 with a special celebration event.

And romance will be in the air this weekend, as a second annual love-run has been organised.

Kerry said that the appeal of the runs shows no sign of waning.

She said: “The numbers have gone up and this seems to be the trend with runs country-wide.

“We are now one of the biggest in Yorkshire – we’re definitely the craziest!

“People enjoy it because there’s no pressure, you can walk or run it.

“There’s no age limit so we’ve got a really good representation of our local community.”
