Despite the cold weather, the runners brought supporters to encourage them along the 100m.

The event raised funds for the Polly Parrot Appeal for Basildon and Thurrock Hospital's children's ward.
Rob Reeley, Tutti Grille managing director, said: "We love to get involved with the local community so this seemed like a great thing to do. We hope to raise as much money as possible for the appeal."
