The 2,000+ runners that took part in this year’s K-Swiss City of Manchester 10K were grateful for the weather on the day, which was rain-free and not too humid. Many personal bests were set at the event, with the favourable running conditions giving runners a helping hand. Crowds of supporters also turned up to cheer on those running the marathon. My Bib Number photographers were poised around the route too, ready to capture shots of the runners. The photographs are all online now and available to view here. To find photographs that a particular runner appears in choose to search via bib number and then enter the bib number into the search field. If the bib number was not readable on the day the number zero or the colour of the top the runner was wearing can also be entered into the search box.
The City of Manchester 10K got off to a great start, with the Lord Mayor of Manchester and Ron Hill MBE setting the runners off. An impressive performance was put on by Jean Ndayisenga who won the men’s race in a time of 29.22 and Tessa Walker who came first in the women’s race in a time of 35.03. Runners of all ages were catered for, with sporting stars of the future speeding down the track at the Toddler Trot.
