Tens of thousands of women have taken part in this year's VHI Women's Mini Marathon in Dublin.
The 10km race, which is in its 43rd year, began at 12.30pm at Fitzwilliam Square in the city centre and finishes on Baggot Street Lower.
This year's winner was 26-year-old Grace Richardson from Kilkenny, who crossed the line in a time of 34:16.
It is the largest all-female event of its kind in the world, with an estimated 28,000 women taking part.
Organisers had said they were expecting a surge in younger women this year.

They said the trend is in part due to the rise of social and community-focused running clubs across the country.
Road closures were in place in and around the city during the race.
Participants were advised to allow extra time to travel and to use public transport where they could.
Organisers are expecting to raise millions of euro for charities today.
The event has raised over €255m since it began in 1982.
The Cork City Marathon also took place this morning with over 10,000 competitors taking part.
