Thousands of runners and supporters gathered at the Coque sports centre on Saturday and Sunday to raise money for cancer research.

In total, this year's edition of the "Relais pour la vie" saw 13,143 participants join 260 teams to run or walk the 24-hour relay race for life. Other groups participated from afar, outside the Coque, under the condition that they stayed moving for the 24-hour duration.

The annual relay race is organised by the Cancer Foundation, launched in 1994 to raise money for cancer research.
