Pippa Middleton surprised locals on Sunday as she took part in a charity run organised by a nearby school.
The Princess of Wales's younger sister barely looked out of breath as she jogged the Kintbury 5, a five-mile run organised by Kintbury St Mary's Primary School near Hungerford, not far from Pippa's Berkshire home.
Pippa, 42, looked very sporty in HOKA running shorts and a William's Racing cap, with her number – 164 – attached to the front of her top. She was also sporting her £250,000 dazzling diamond engagement ring.
Showing off her impressive athletic physique, she tied her hair back in a ponytail and chose bright blue and white HOKA trainers, which looked brand new despite the muddy terrain across "tracks, trails, and quiet roads".
The event is described as a "fun, lively run" with "scenic spots" and a 10 am start for participants. They also stage events for children, so it's possible Pippa's three children, Arthur, seven, Grace, five, and Rose, three, may also have taken part.
A shared passion
Pippa has a longstanding passion for sport and fitness, previously completing impressive endurance challenges, including the Great Wall Marathon in China, a 26.2-mile course in extreme heat.
She's also completed the 3,000-mile Race Across America cycle, a cross-continental swim in Istanbul, and a 47-mile event in Sweden that included 6 miles of open-water swimming and 41 miles of trail running.

Complicated times
Pippa and her husband James have much to celebrate as they're preparing for their nine-year wedding anniversary on Wednesday, 20 May.

The Matthews family is involved in hearings to determine whether they will be able to keep a gate installed at the home to "improve security". However, the fixture has created backlash from residents who claim the driveway has been a vital link between two footpaths, meaning pedestrians can avoid walking on dangerous roads.

"I did not see any members of the public using the drive on those visits. There was nothing in the conveyancing process which alerted me to any public use of the drive.
"There are implications for my family, due to their high public profile, which means there is a need for a higher level of security than would otherwise be the case if the circumstances were different. Therefore, to improve security for my family, before we moved in, I arranged for an electric security gate to be erected on the drive."
