A new record has been set for the Paisley 10k and 3k Fun Run with more than 4,500 people participating in it.
Organised by OneRen, the race saw an increase of 1,000 participants compared to last year.
The 10k race had 3,953 runners, while 1,602 signed up for the fun run.
Derek Hawkins, former Olympic distance runner and one of the official race starters, said: "The Paisley 10k is one of the biggest in Scotland and it’s great to see record numbers out racing at various levels.
“It’s truly inspirational and an amazing atmosphere. The most important thing is to get some enjoyment from it, whatever goal you are trying to achieve - and so many are making that happen today.”
In the men's 10k race, Jamie Burns from Shettleston Harriers clinched victory with a time of 30 minutes and 13 seconds.
The women's 10k race was won by Nynke Mulholland from Inverclyde Athletics Club, who finished in 35 minutes and 39 seconds.
Nynke, 32, said: "It’s an amazing course and there’s always sights to look at, but it was really windy, so I was sheltering behind some of the guys from my team.
"That said, I knew that I was holding it together and in with a chance of the win.
"My friend beat me last year, so it was great to come back and get the win."
Many fun runners raised money for charities and local sports clubs.
Dr Julie McElroy, who uses a frame to assist her running, took part in the Paisley 10k for the first time last year as a platform to race in the London Marathon.
She said: “Seven years ago, I had my independence, freedom and physical agility taken away from me in an instant from a traumatic accident.
“I was scared of coming back out and getting involved in sports again. I joined my local running club, and haven’t looked back since.
“It has been a game changer to how far I can take frame running into roads running events.”
Dr Victoria Hollows, chief executive of OneRen, said: "The Paisley 10k and Fun Run is one of Renfrewshire’s biggest outdoor participation events and I’m delighted that more people than ever before have taken part, all cheered on by their family and friends.
“There is a lot of sweat and hard work, but real joy too when runners cross the finish line and it was fantastic to see so many runners of all ages and abilities taking part and well done to them for not only running on the day, but for their dedication and time they put in training for the races.
"I want to thank all of the OneRen staff, volunteers and our partners, not least Renfrewshire Council, Police Scotland and our supporters at Kilbarchan AAC, who came together to make this event one of Scotland’s best 10k events.”
