The annual fancy dress run was organised to celebrate the town's Carnival week.

Dozens of runners of all ages and abilities completed the five kilometre course around the National Trust estate at a sun-kissed Sheringham Park.

And the festivities are set to continue throughout the weekend with a beach party on the town's east beach from 12.30pm on Saturday.

Highlights include a tide fight and model sea monster competition.
