An estimated 450 runners pounded the streets for the full 26.2 mile course, with a further 1,325 taking part in the relay race and 351 completing the JEP-sponsored three-kilometre fun run.
But far from being deterred by the Mediterranean-style heat, many runners completed the course without any major problems.
And Scotland international runner Shona Crombie-Hicks achieved the unthinkable and set a new course women’s record of two hours 53 minutes 36 seconds, beating the previous record set by Claire Forbes last year by almost four minutes.
