Great Manchester Run

Inner City races are not really my thing but it would be churlish not to recognise the enthusiasm and excitement they generate. Today, the centre of Manchester is closed for the "Great Manchester Run".

I don't think the "front of the field" is the most important part of the event, so these photos contain runners a long way down the field, of 38,000 runners.

One of my nephews was one of the "long way down the field" runners, and I know how much it meant to him to complete his first half marathon, so chapeau to Harry.
