This Sunday the Therme Manchester Marathon & Half Marathon will see around 32,000 runners run through the streets of Greater Manchester.
To allow the runners to safely move through the 23.1 mile route, many roads across the city have been closed.
This year, the organisers have also amended the Marathon route which now takes a three-mile loop into the city centre, going past some of the city's iconic landmarks such as the Manchester Opera House and Albert Memorial Hall.
The Marathon will start under the White City Arch near Manchester United's Old Trafford Stadium and will run past Trafford Town Hall and Lancashire Cricket Club towards the finish line.
Arrangements for the event are subject to constant review and evaluation. Planning is underway to facilitate a safe and socially distanced 2021 event for all in consultation with Greater Manchester Police, TfGM, Trafford and Manchester City Councils.
Road closure times for the event have been revised to accommodate an elongated start window.
Here's a breakdown of the road and street closures taking place ahead of the Manchestere Marathon 2021.
