Hawke's Bay Today photographer Ian Cooper caught up with the participants in the annual Cole Murray Cape Kidnappers Trail Run/Walk on Saturday.

The event is part of the Hawke's Bay Trail Running Series and supports the Hawke's Bay Rescue Helicopter Trust.

It is set on private land and includes trails through and alongside beaches, native forest, waterfalls, river gorges and coastal farmland.
