The 2k and 5k course around Mowbray Park attracted crowds of dressed-up runners – to the delight of organisers.
David Purvis, from Great Run Local Sunderland, said: “We had a great day with lots of new faces and our regular runners really got into the spirit.
“As usual our runners didn’t let us down with some great costumes.
“Bring on the Santa run at Christmas!”
