Thousands of runners took in the sun and stunning scenery as they completed Run Balmoral.
More than 4,000 people took part in the hugely popular event throughout Saturday, which included the 5K and 10K races.
Runners tested their endurance and mettle by setting off from Balmoral Castle and following tracks around the Royal estate.
Meanwhile, crowds of spectators gathered across the fine spring weekend to take in the stunning Deeside backdrop and watch as their friends and family took part in the race.
We sent our photographer Kath Flannery to capture the action.
