Runners at the evening event were challenged to complete a total distance of 8km in under 30 minutes.
There was also a 2km and 4km run for those who chose to spare themselves the gruelling 8km task.
The event looked to have as many athletes as possible run in a “bus” (runners running as a group), and try to beat the half-an-hour target on the night.
The bus-run was to help the athletes achieve the goal rather than measuring individual brilliance.
