Runners of all ages and skill level, from kids to serious joggers, lined up on the starting line at six in the morning to compete on one of the three circuits that ranged from a gentle 1.5km jog to a more serious 17km race.

» One of the best new bands I came across during my recent trip to the UK was the eight-member, London-based outfit, Ibibio Sound Machine. I picked up the band’s eponymously named debut album, which was released earlier this year on vinyl with an MP3 download included in the package, at Piccadilly Records in Manchester while I was trawling the racks and listening to some of my selections. I was very taken with the single released from the album, Let’s Dance (Yak Inek Unek). Soundway Records, better known for its reissue compilations, is the band’s label.
