  18 MAY

  

  While the tense conclusion to the English Premier league finally separated the two Manchester sides, the city will this time be united as it celebrates the 10th staging of the Bupa Great Manchester Run on Sunday (May 20). With 40,000 runners expected to take part, the race looks set to further establish itself as one of the leading mass participation events in the world. In the lead-up to this year's event, excitement has intensified with confirmation of both Haile Gebreselassie and Patrick Makau's participation, setting up an interesting duel between past and present world record holders.

  With words of encouragement from Olympic silver medallist Kriss Akabusi ringing in their ears, more than 6,000 runners successfully completed the RunLiverpool half marathon in March. After showing a marked increase in popularity, organisers have opened entries for the 2013 event and have set a limit of 7,500. In addition to confirming the quota, there was also news of a modified start and finish point at Pier Head, with the current spot of King's Parade - deemed too small to accommodate the upsurge in numbers.

  16 MAY

  

  With a round figure of 100 runners, perfect, sunny conditions and eager volunteers, there was something unmistakably fitting about Preston's opening parkrun on Saturday (May 12). A much sought after and eagerly anticipated event, the 100 participants set off from the East Lancs Viaduct and covered three anti-clockwise laps, taking in both Avenham and Miller parks. Forest of Dean AC's Peter Woodward was the first home in 17:42, with Andrew Vause second (17:57) and Jamie Cook third (18:25). Local runner Charlotte Rawcliffe (23:29) was fastest woman.
