More than 10,000 runners have taken part in the Bristol Half Marathon as it marks its 30th anniversary.

The 13.1-mile course took in the Harbourside, the city centre, and loops along the Portway underneath the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

Matt Clowe of Cardiff AAC won the men's race in 01:05:08, and Annabel Gummow from Winchester and District Athletic Club won the women's in 01:17:05.

Many competitors took part in fancy dress, raising money for charity.

One of the outfits spotted in the race on Bristol's streets was that of Star Wars' Chewbacca.
