Particpants ran past Anfield Stadium during the annual event [Erica Dillon]
More than 1,600 people have taken part in an annual run to commemorate the 97 fans who died as a result of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster.
Former footballer and pundit Jamie Carragher joined victims' families for the Run For The 97 at Liverpool's Stanley Park on Saturday.
Among the runners was 96-year-old Dennis Adelsberg, from Ormskirk, who returned to take part after suffering a broken leg a year ago.
Organised by the BTR Liverpool group, its founder Alan Rothwell said: "Over the years we've gotten to know a number of Hillsborough family members, we recognise familiar faces who return year after year, and it's important we keep educating the next generation through sport."
