What a day we had at the Manchester Marathon! We had more than FIFTY MileShyers out on the course with twelve superheroes running the whole 26.2 miles and ten teams of four runners running the relays. We are super proud of each and every one of you!

We were also represented on the volunteer front with Coach Tara heading up a team of MileShy volunteers that were positioned in the Dane Road/Glebelands Road area of Sale keeping everybody safe and cheering all the runners on. As always the MileShy community was out in full force along the route with cheer squads in Timperley, Sale and Stretford cheering everybody on and picking out our neon tees for an extra loud MileShy cheer as our runners passed.

Our relay runners spent the down time at the relay points talking to runners from other clubs and we had lots of compliments about our tees and the “NoOne Gets Left Behind” ethos. One of the marshals commented she’d never seen so many relay teams from one club before which just goes to show what a fantastic community we have - this was also evidenced further when one lady joined the Facebook group just to thank one of our runners that had given her a banana for fuel at one of the relay points. Well done Jude!

Just an amazing day! We’ve already heard and seen lots of conversations about next year’s relay teams with some people even expressing interest in doing the two leg half marathon distance relays - we love that you were all so inspired by the event and can’t wait for next year!
