The popular 5k race returned to the town’s coastline for the first time in more than a year on Saturday, July 24.
The event attracted 247 excited runners who were keen to return to the event after such a long time.
Colin Robson, event director for South Shields parkrun, said it was great to see “so many happy people" getting involved once again.
