£8,000 has been raised during an annual 10k run in memory of a former Jersey police officer and footballer.
Jayson Lee died while playing for St John's FC in 2009.
The run takes in all his favourite spots, including his home and school.
It was initially started by the Lee Family, but the baton was handed over to Jersey Hospice Care two years ago to continue his legacy.
The run has raised more than £100,000 since first starting 17 years ago, with money going towards helping Jersey Hospice Care to continue running its services.
Maria Brockbank, Community Engagement Officer at Jersey Hospice Care, said:
"We were so pleased to have run yet another successful Hospice 10K and to still be working with the Lee family after all these years, keeping Jayson’s legacy going. The sun was shining at FB Fields creating perfect conditions for the runners and a great atmosphere for supporters.
"The 10K is a run, not a race, so it’s open to all abilities – and the community spirit was wonderful."
Josh O'Brien crossed the finishing line first, followed by Ewan Pilley and Adam Harris.
The fastest woman over the line was Francesca Monticelli, followed by Rosie Adamson and Natalie Hodge.
