This year was the 20th Anniversary of the run . Weather was gorgeous...run in blazing city sushine. It was a magnificent day. City was in a party mood, start to finish with a high energy soundtrack, live music and entertainment zones at every turn.
British Olympian Sir Mo Farah also took part in the morning 10 K as one of his retirement journeys.This is considered as the third largest mass participation running event in UK other than North run and London run.
Geo was in mini dash for 1.5 km and he took nearly 7 minutes to finish and Mich accompanied him. Great to see young man completing his run. Met many homeedders and our friends.
Tired young man, reaching finishing line on 8th place.
Taking a break after run, feels giddy.
Though theresu had a neck sprain, she made a brilliant debut too, made a nice finish in for 2.5 km. Folliwing that 10K was up and going. However, we moved to visit those stalls and photo booths. Had a thrilling experience watching all athletes. Many celebrities like Mo Faroh, coronation stars, Peter Hook for Christie, founder of mummy star charity, mayor Andy Burnham all joined in the morning for 10 K which we missed sadly ..
Enjoyed and proud being a Mancunian. Thank God for all the brilliant opportunities we had enjoyed over the years being in the city.
