HUNDREDS sprinted, jogged and walked around the sun-drenched grounds of Blenheim Palace for the annual 7K fun run.

Charity teams supporting Sobell House Hospice, Helen and Douglas House Hospice and Cancer Research all took on the course on Sunday, with many more good causes represented. 

More than 800 runners lined up for the race, which came six weeks after the Oxford Mail's own five-mile OX5 in the palace grounds.

Younger competitiors took on a one-mile race at 11am, with the 7k and four mile races starting at 11.30am.
