More than 10,000 were expected line up at the start with thousands cheering them on.

The chilly temperatures failed to dampen the spirits as the crowds came out to support the elite athletes and fun runners who raise thousands of pounds for charity.

Dermot, who is returning to run the Bath Half Marathon, took time out to speak to Bath Chronicle reporter Liza-Jane Gillespie.

He said: "I had such a good time last year, apart from the one hour 47 when I was running.

"I love the city, it's a beautiful city, everyone turns out to support you.

"It is a lovely city to run aournd."

And Greg, who is taking on the event for the first time said: "I love bath very much. I only ever walked around it and got drunk here.

"I've had nice dinners here and stuff and good nights out and DJ here a few times at the University.

"I hope I love it as much as I do now afterward. If it's awful today I may never want to come back."
