In pictures: The first Bo'ness Fair 2k Fun Run

Young runners took to Bo’ness Foreshore on Sunday morning for the first ever Bo’ness Fair 2k Fun Run.

The event was held to raise money for the Bo’ness Children’s Fair and was an addition to the Fair 5k event, which took place after the shorter distance.

The sun shone on the youngsters as they completed the route along the foreshore in whatever way they wanted – running, jogging, walking.

A post on social media from the organisers said: “What a day. Family is the Fair and it was fantastic to see so many generations of Bo’nessians out running and walking in aid of Bo’ness Fair Day. The summer sun was indeed gleaming and thanks to you we raised £769 towards this year’s Fair Day.”

They also added “a special shout out” to sponsors Alan Steel Asset Management, celebrant Frank McGarry, Flxy Space and Grant Chiropody and Podiatry who “made sure everyone crossed the finish line with a smile and a sweetie”.

Herald photographer Michael Gillen captured these images from the 2k fun run – recognise anyone?
