The route for this year’s walk started at Sainsburys car park on the Strand Road, along the quay and then crossed Craigavon Bridge before making its way back across the Peace Bridge and finishing at Sainsbury’s.
A mass of yellow T-shirts adorned the walk along the quay and ages ranged from 5 years-old to 86 years old. Families, companies, schools, local small businesses and community groups had their representatives all out in force in the early morning, some running, others walking, others taking in the dawn sights along the picturesque River Foyle.
