Runners in numbers of around 200 braved the ice and cold weather in an annual trail run in North Cumbria.
The third annual Brampton Trail Run, organised by Fellside Events, took place on January 7.
The seven-kilometre race started at the Sands in Brampton, and the runners tackled the woodland of the Moat and Ridge Woods.
Then, they raced through farmland to the hamlet of Easby, before heading back to where they started, via Ridge Wood again.
The first to cross the finish line was number 83, who completed the race in roughly 28 minutes.
The mixed terrain run offered participants a bracing bout of exercise and stunning views.
The mostly off-road route was made more treacherous with the mud being mostly frozen during the event.
All finishers were awarded a bespoke medal, as well as free events photos to download.
Entrance to the race cost £19.50, with a £2 discount available for UKA-affiliated runners.
The race kicked off at 10.30am after a safety briefing 15 minutes before.
Describing the course, Fellside Events wrote: "Our run is located on the edge of Brampton and is a fantastic route with stunning views and a mixture of terrain.
"There are some hills and then naturally some descents.
"Part of the route is through farmland and potentially muddy, you should wear your trail shoes.
"With only a short road section this run is mainly off-road heading out through fields, woodland and trails, don't forget to admire the view on your way round."
Prizes were awarded to the first three finishers in the male and female open categories and for first place in each of the age group categories.
