This Sunday (April 16) will see thousands of runners take part in the Manchester Marathon while drinking in the city's greatest landmarks.
The Adidas event is the second-largest marathon event in the UK and the fourth largest in Europe overall. It is known for its 'fast, flat and friendly' 26.2-mile route through Greater Manchester, which is taken on by elite athletes and first-time marathon runners alike.
Some 28,000 runners and 42,000 spectators are expected to take part in the event this weekend. The marathon has a rich history dating back as far as 1908 where it has now grown to become a much-loved running event for athletes all across the UK.
