Gade Valley Harriers' 25th anniversay celebrations continued on Saturday when they took over Jarman Park Athletics ground for a Family Sports Day.

The Harriers, and their families tried their hand at various track and field events, many for the first time since their school days.

The final event of the day was a 10K relay race, where four teams of people, comprising both adults and children, raced over 10K distance.
