Big well done to members who ran the Greater Manchester Marathon last weekend!

Phil Davies

‘It was great, perfect weather and brilliant support all the way round. I took 4:16:55, new PB by 8 mins . But mostly just pleased I enjoyed it all cos my first marathon was horrible. Will probably do another now! Well not now obviously – later!’

‘Have only just noticed there’s an Oatly Chocolate drink in the goody bag – yummy! Along with a bag of mango chunks that makes goody bag 50% vegan – that’s pretty good.’

Maria Pali

‘Marathon PB hat trick today at Greater Manchester. 3.36 according to my watch. Never believed I could ‘run’ before but I do now. I’m elated. Boyfriend paced a friend for a sub 3. Everyone happy today’
