Thousands will take to the streets of Belfast this weekend for the annual Belfast City Marathon.
And while the gruelling training is coming to an end, focus will be shifting to other prep, what to eat, attire, and the weather forecast.
It's not looking too bad for those who'll be taking part this weekend. It does forecast for some chance of rain, but temperatures will remain in the teens, with 13C forecast for 10am. A Met Office spokesperson said: "Heavy showers are likely on Saturday and Sunday, with perhaps some longer spells of rain later Sunday. A drier brighter day is expected on Monday. Mostly light winds."
