Great Manchester Run 10k tracker to check times and runners on your phone

Tens of thousands of people are taking part in the Simplyhealth Great Manchester Run today.

There are plenty of spots where  spectators can watch the runners and athletes taking part around the 10km and half marathon course in and around the city centre.

However this year people can also keep tabs of the runners on their phones and computers using the live online tracker.

The Simplyhealth website has a live tracker where you can enter the name of anyone participating. It will then give you the athlete's times, position and expected finish time based on the latest data from the course.

At the end of the race you can replay the race using the map.

The live tracker also has a leaderboard showing the quickest runners in the half marathon and 10km races.

You can view the live tracker HERE .

You can also use the tracker on your phone by downloading the Simplyhealth Great Manchester Run app for Android HERE and the  iPhone/iPad app HERE .

This year's run features a number of elite athletes including 5,000m world champion Hellen Obiri, Team GB's Steph Twell  and 2015 New York City Marathon and 2012 Paris Marathon winner Stanley Biwott.

The half marathon first wave set off at around 9am, with the first 10km race starting at 12.30pm.
