FORMER pupils teamed up with current pupils at St Peter's School, York, in a ten kilometre run to raise cash for the British Heart Foundation.

More than 100 representatives, including parents and staff from the school, took part in the event in Beverley on Sunday.

The first pupil to finish was Jonathan Butterworth, who completed the course in 39.08 minutes, and the first staff member to finish was Chris Hall, who finished in 41.48 minutes.

Staff member Paddy Stephen, who helped organised the group, said: "Once again St Peter's were made to feel extremely welcome at the Beverley 10k race. The organisation of the event is superb, which allows all those participating to really enjoy themselves. Thank you to all those who helped to make the day so successful."

It is hoped more than £3,500 was raised for the charity.
