Hundreds of runners have completed the Nottingham 10k race on its new route through the city centre.

The race began in the Old Market Square at 09:00 GMT on Sunday and competitors crossed the finish line at Nottingham Castle.

Roads were closed while the runners were on the course but Nottingham City Transport said tram and bus services had returned to normal by midday.

Organisers said the runners have raised tens of thousands of pounds for good causes.
