Runners will take to the streets of Cardiff and London this weekend as marathons are held in both cities. The Cardiff Half Marathon returns to its usual October spot, just six months after the last event, while the London Marathon will also take place.
And fortunately for those braving the races, the weather looks set to be on side. In London there will be showers in the morning before shifting to drier skies as the race gets underway, and in Cardiff the most runners will have to contend with is some cloud.
The dry forecast will be a relief to runners and spectators alike, after heavy rain and strong winds are forecast to batter the UK on Friday and Saturday. A yellow weather warning for wind and rain is in place for some areas on Saturday, although this looks to be completely cleared by race day.
