Thousands of runners have taken to the streets for a race with a longer 10-mile route around the capital.
Organisers of the Bupa Great Edinburgh Run said they wanted to offer runners a different challenge by increasing the course from 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) to 10 miles.
The event has taken place in the city since 2005, with runners winding their way in and around the Royal Mile, Arthur's Seat and Edinburgh Castle.
Chris Thompson was first over the finish line, completing the new route in 49 minutes and 36 seconds, with Gemma Steel becoming the first woman to finish, in a time of 56 minutes and six seconds.
A mini run was also held for children aged three to eight as well as a junior run for ages 9-15.
In total, 5,000 people took part in the three races.
In among the runners was Holby City and Taggart actor John Michie. He said: "Edinburgh is my home town and I've run for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research for 10 years now. It's great to be here, and there's always a good crowd of people cheering us on."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
