LONDON: Thousands of runners took to the streets of London on Sunday for their first mass 10k since lockdown restrictions were lifted.
Roads across central London were closed as the runners in the Asics London 10k swept past views of landmarks to the sound of cheering crowds and entertainers who lined the streets.
