Manchester Marathon 2021 Race Report

Posted on 11th October 2021

Last Sunday saw 24 Harriers take to the streets of Manchester in the marathon. Beautiful weather on a new and vastly improved course which does actually go into Manchester! There were some fantastic results, with six Harriers getting under 3 hours, easily the best performance of the local clubs. Three of us (Barry, Mark and Harry) were coming off the back of the London marathon last Sunday (not that unusual – there were numerous runners wearing the distinctive London shirt), but more notably, Matt Leech completed the Yorkshire Three Peaks race just the day before. Matt Lynas was 1st of 929 in his age category. With over 13,000 finishers, Manchester has cemented its position as the second biggest marathon in the UK.

Special mention of course to media-tart Harry Newton for running two marathons in a week, including being fastest British over-80 in London, beaten only by a Canadian.
