Nearly 2,000 runners turned out for the annual Race for Life in Dundee to help raise money for those fighting cancer.

Around 1,000 people descended on Camperdown Park on Sunday morning for the traditional 5k and 10k events, raising money for Cancer Research UK.

In the afternoon, 967 people took part in Pretty Muddy Dundee, a 5k mud-splattered obstacle course which included space hoppers, scramble nets and inflatable slides.
