Runners get ready.

The Huddersfield Marathon and Half Marathon is back.

There’s also a 5k family fun run for those wanting to do something with the children.

All will take place on the morning of Sunday June 3.

Wane Law, of White Rose Marathons which organises the event, said: “The route is the same as the last four years, the marathon is two laps of the half marathon, and again the YMCA are organising the family fun run.

“It’s a great event. The full marathon, due to the nature of where we live and all the hills, is tough but we have marathon runners who come back every year because of the challenge it gives them.”

He’s calling on Huddersfield folk to step up and volunteer to keep the race going, adding: “We are short on a few volunteers, people can help register runners or be at drink stations which is essential, especially on a sunny day like we expect this year.

“We hope Huddersfield people will support this event and support us, it’s all part of what makes Huddersfield the place it is and puts us on a par with the big cities that are now hosting marathons.”
