With the Great Manchester Run fast approaching at the end of this month, many who've missed participating or watching the event may be wondering when the last run actually was.
Like many other events in Manchester last year, it went through a lot of disruption due to complications from the coronavirus pandemic.
The 10km race - the largest of its kind in Europe - along with the half marathon and junior runs, were were originally supposed to take place on March 24, 2020.

Organisers then postponed it until September 6, 2020, and then eventually it was outright cancelled.
The Great Manchester Run normally sees tens of thousands of runners of all ages and abilities take to the streets of Manchester.
Fortunately, the event is set to return this month and is due to place on Sunday, September 26 with an expected turnout of 30,000 people.
The event will be televised live by the BBC as runners take their first steps of the year on the long stretch across the city centre route passing through the heart of the city.
The 10k route will be in sight of Manchester United's Old Trafford Stadium, the Imperial War Museum at Salford Quays, and The Lowry.
Meanwhile, the half marathon route will take runners through both of the city's iconic football stadiums while also traversing through the setting of Coronation Street's new set - the finish line will be marked by the city's iconic 47-storey skyscraper.
The Mancunian event will also be joined by some iconic music to contribute to the buzzing atmosphere with some local artists to provide the soundtrack to the participants' run.
