A total 105 people from youngsters through to adults laced up their joggers for the annual event, which was held at Invermein Stud in Scone.
Running through the pristine laneways of Invermein and Bhima was a perfect start to an Autumn Sunday and whether they were running to win or simply enjoying the opportunity of a fun run, all participants enjoyed themselves.
Upper Hunter Shire Council sports participation officer and event organiser Nicky Western said after nearly cancelling the run due to the threatening weather, she was so pleased they went ahead as it was another great event.
Western thanked the Scone Motor Inn for sponsoring the medallions for the run, as well as Greg White and Duncan Macintrye for allowing it to take place on their properties.
