P6 and P7 children put in impressive performances in events ranging from the 100 metres to the javelin and long jump.

Participating primary schools were: Ancrum Road, Ballumbie, Barnhill, Blackness, Camperdown, Claypotts Castle, Clepington, Dens Road, Eastern, Fintry, Forthill, Glebelands, Mill of Mains, Rosebank, Rowantree, Sidlaw View, Ss Peter and Paul, St Andrews, St Clements, St Fergus and Tayview.

Fellow school pupils, students from Dundee and Angus College and Abertay University and Dundee Hawkhill Harriers coaches officiated.

Here are our best pictures from a day of sporting fun. Results are below.
