More than 200 runners have taken park in a 10k fun run to raise money for a charity formed in memory of a Birmingham businessman.
The event in Cannon Hill Park was organised by the Ronnie Bowker Foundation, named after the former head of Ernst & Young’s Birmingham office.
Mr Bowker was Midland managing partner for 15 years and contributed to arts and the community in the city before he passed away in 2010.

The foundation has raised more than £65,000 of its £100,000 target and has made donations to organisations including Digbeth based Tru Street dance group, which runs community dance classes and Miss Macaroon, a social enterprise providing inner city employment opportunities.
Ernst & Young partner Mark Minihane, who organised the race for the foundation, said: “The day was a great success and we plan to make it an annual event in the West Midlands calendar.”
Race prizes were sponsored by Aga Rangemaster.
