Evelyn Vanni, volunteer at Linwood Parkrun, said: "Parkrun is a fabulous thing and we have a great wee team and community here.

"It's great for fitness, as well as making friends and having a good chat.

"As the event coincides with the 75th anniversary of the NHS, we're trying to get as many NHS staff involved as volunteers."
