The yellow and black colours were on show in London, Manchester, Bramham Park and at the Hornsea Third race, as well as at various Parkruns, writes John Edwards.

Flying the flag for Bridlington at the Manchester Marathon were Alan Feldberg, who finished 3,139th in 3:26:27, and Stuart Gent, who achieved his aim of getting under four-and-a-half hours despite disruption to his training in the weeks before the race.
