Thousands of runners have taken to the streets of the capital for an event which passes some of the city's most famous landmarks.
The Morrisons Great Edinburgh Run took place in the city today with around 5,000 people taking in sites including Holyrood Palace, Arthur's Seat and Greyfriars Bobby during the 10-mile race.
Runners were also able to split the route for the first time, with a relay option allowing teams of two to enter.
There were also events organised for younger runners, with a 1.5km race for three to eight-year-olds and a 2.5k for those aged between nine and 15.
Councillor Richard Lewis, festivals and events champion for the City of Edinburgh Council, said: "It was a spectacular sight to see thousands of runners snake around the city centre and Arthur's Seat for the Morrisons Great Edinburgh Run and it was fantastic that so many spectators came to show their support.
"Well done everyone who took part."
Ethiopia's Tsedat Abeje Ayana was first over the finish line in the 10-miler, completing the route in 48:44, followed by Andrew Lemoncello in a time of 50:02 and Peter Huck in 50:30.
The first female finisher was England's Jess Coulson who came in at 56:06, with Scot Rhona Auckland runner-up in 56:12 and Ireland's Maria McCambridge third in 56:21.
Event organiser Andy Mitchelmore said: "It is always exciting to see so many runners take to the roads of Edinburgh, passing so many iconic buildings along the way.
"The Morrisons Great Edinburgh Run has been a key fixture in the Scottish running calendar since 2005 and the introduction of the 10-mile course last year was a great success."
