Philippa Davey ran the 10k dressed as Plymouth’s Smeaton’s Tower to raise money for suicide charity Papyrus UK.
She said: “The lighthouse might be last… but people are lovely, they see the lighthouse and just smile. It’s been brilliant.”
Amy Guthrie-Smith, running as part of the Move Against Cancer 5K team, said: “My cancer journey recovery would not have been the same without these positive people helping to support me.”
The group meets on the last Saturday of each month at more than 120 designated parkrun events across the UK with the Plymouth group meeting in Central Park.
“We meet afterwards for some coffee, cup of tea, cake, and just to support each other,” Guthrie-Smith said.
“I think events like this are brilliant because it gives us the opportunity and pushes ourselves out of the comfort zone.”
