Rotarian Rod Allday, Chairman of the Run Mawnan committee, said: “Since we returned last year after an enforced Covid break of two years, it’s good to see the number of entrants getting back to pre-Covid levels.
"As always, we are extremely grateful to all the local businesses who have supported us by providing some great prizes, and to all the volunteers who marshal the course and help in the event field.
"This is one of Falmouth Rotary club’s main fund-raising events of the year and we always aim to distribute half of the proceeds to village organisations.”
