SCORES of runners and walkers – some in fancy dress, others pushing prams – turned out to help an Easter Ross parkrun group mark a milestone in its history at the weekend.

Alness Parkrun celebrated its 200th outing in style on Saturday with 152 participants and 20 all-important volunteers turning up at the start line at the town's Crawl Park.

With a nod to the hit reality TV show filmed at Ardross Castle, there was a Traitors fancy dress theme with capes, cloaks and masks adding a touch of intrigue to proceedings.

Cake at the finish line of the parkrun – a weekly timed 5km event which starts at 9.30am on Saturdays year round – ensured a celebratory atmosphere.

Race director Adele Phemister got into character to brilliantly channel her inner Claudia Winkleman in her key organisational role while two other volunteers took inspiration from Alan Cumming, the Scottish actor host of the American version of The Traitors.
