Yesterday (April 12), saw pupils complete the highly anticipated final leg of the Shropshire Primary Schools Half Marathon.
Thousands of parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters lined up to shout their support as youngsters from four up to 11-years-old finished the event.
Hundreds of children from different year groups took part in the event, running 1.1 miles in two laps at the West Mid Showground in Shrewsbury on Saturday morning.
The run was the culmination of months of work for the youngsters, who have been completing a mile a week at their schools - with yesterday's leg finishing off the total half marathon distance.
School children were given the full marathon running a fully marshalled course with race bibs.
Runners were cheered on by their friends and relatives as they crossed the finish line wearing their half marathon T-shirts and they were presented with their medals.
