A retired teacher who lost the use of her legs due to a spinal condition has completed Europe's biggest 10km road race for the 15th time with the help of her husband.
Linda Hartley and Stephen Hartley from Carnforth took part in the Great Manchester Run on Sunday.
Linda, who uses a wheelchair, was pushed by Stephen along the 10km route as she has been for all 15 times she has completed the event.
The couple take part to raise awareness of the Spinal Injuries Association, who help people who have suffered a spinal cord injury.
The mum-of-two, who taught at Morecambe High School for 40 years, suddenly lost the use of her legs in January 2008 due to Transverse Myelitis, a spinal condition.
"Stephen pushes me so I can join in," said Linda.
"It was a great community event, there were lots of people cheering and high-fiving me."
The Hartleys will also be doing the Great North Run in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in September, together for the 15th time, and for Stephen's 20th time in total.
Tens of thousands of people took part in a 10km run and half marathon on Sunday through the streets of Manchester.
The 10km run is Europe's biggest and this year marked its 20th anniversary.
Many other people from North Lancashire took part in the event.
They included staff from the Premierline call centre in Lancaster - Matty Holt, Stuart Darroch, Jazz Banger, Kirstie Clark, Sophie Ginocchio, Stephen Rowan and Gosia Czyzniewska.
They were joined by Luke Paget from the Lancaster band LOWES, Jodie Assitt who works as events manager at Morecambe Football Club, and Rosie Assitt. They have raised more than £1500 for St John's Hospice and their fundraising page is here.
Lauren Zawadzki completed the Manchester Half Marathon in aid of the Fighting to be Heard Foundation which offers friendship, family and financial support for those impacted by secondary breast cancer.
The charity was founded by local woman Kate Rackham.
Lauren has raised more than £1000 and her fundraising page is here.
Lauren (pictured centre) co-founded Morecambe arts and events company Deco Publique who organise the annual Vintage-by-the-sea festival in Morecambe.
She completed the run alongside Sarah Rigby who was running for Young Minds, and Claire Chaisty, both from Heysham.
Also finishing the Manchester Half Marathon was Amy Gardner from Lancaster, who has raised more than £800 for PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide. Amy's fundraising page is here.
