Three hundred people braved the rain to take part in the 2017 Dundee Cyclathon on Sunday.

The annual event, organised by the Rotary Club of Claverhouse, took off from Camperdown Park.

Many of the hardy souls raised funds for cancer charity Marie Curie.

The cyclathon event involves a 26-mile route beginning and ending at Camperdown Park, which follows the Green Circular cycle route.

Despite the poor weather, organisers and charity representatives were delighted with the number of cyclists who turned out for the event.

Ian Balgowan, from organisers, the Rotary Club of Claverhouse, said the event could one again be considered a success.

He said: “It seems to have gone very well, everyone was delighted.

“Given the weather, we are delighted that we got 300.

“There was a really good mix taking part, there were some very keen cyclists, but a good mix of family groups and friends too.

“The first cyclist came back in an hour and 40 minutes — he has come in first the last three years, but it is not a race.

“Everyone was finished by half past three, which is better than we have had in the past.

“Some of the cyclists say the biggest incentive was that we had pizza at the end!”

Marie Curie patron Petra McMillan said: “This is the second year the Rotary Club of Claverhouse has chosen our charity to benefit.

“Last year we had around 400 taking part, this year was slightly down, but we still had around 300 people taking part, which is a great turnout.

“It’s really nice that so many families got involved and made such a long running event a success once again.

“We had great support from Spar as well, who gave us lots of good stuff for goody bags, so it’s wonderful that businesses in the city are supporting us too.”
