In this film we hear what motivated our runners, as well as what our celebrity participants thought of the day.
This year's event was the most successful so far, with more runners taking part and more funds raised than ever before to help the fight against dementia.
Among the Alzheimer's Society team were four celebrity runners - Apprentice winner, Yasmina Siadatan, Oasis drummer Alan White, television presenter Richard McCourt and jazz crooner Rick Guard, who pounded the streets of London in support of the charity. Alzheimer's Society also had an enthusiastic team of supporters on the sidelines, who cheered, whistled and high-fived the charity's runners, sending them on their way with a smile on their faces.
There are more than 750,000 people in the UK affected by dementia with numbers set to rise to 1 million by 2025.
Alzheimer's Society is the UK's leading care and research charity for people with dementia and those who care for them.
