Highlanders were united against cancer by taking part in the city’s first Race for Life in almost two years.
All mass participation Race for Life events across the UK were cancelled last year to protect the country’s health during the pandemic.
Around 200 people took part in the 5K and 10K Race for Life events at Bught Park on Sunday.
STV presenter Laura Boyd shared her inspirational story of living with leukaemia in a powerful two-minute audio recording.
The 39-year-old said: “Back in September 2009 my life changed forever when I received the devastating news that I had cancer.”
She said she heard the word and practically collapsed but added: “I am proof that the work scientists do, the funding supporters raise goes to help save lives and also create lives.”
Figures show that every year, around 32,400 people are diagnosed with cancer in Scotland and one in two people in the UK born after 1960 will get cancer in their lifetime.
