Hundreds of people put aside the sporting upset of Saturday night to show up in Victoria Park yesterday morning (Sunday) for the Southport Visiter Charity Fun Run and the 10k organised by Natterjack Running Centre on Eastbank Street.
Although I wasn't doing any of the running, I was part of the team which handed out water to thirsty participants as they streamed through the course.
It looks so easy when you see it on the Marathon coverage, but in reality it's a fine art - standing still and passing a plastic cup of water to somebody zooming past you.
We all had it down to a fine art in the end, but I will never criticise the British 4x400 team for dropping the baton ever again.
There was a real sense of camaraderie around the park, with every last runner being cheered home in both events, and hopefully a great deal of cash raised for charity.
