Ollie Lockley completed the UK's second largest marathon in 2 hours 20 seconds

Manxman Ollie Lockley finished third in yesterday's Manchester Marathon. 

Ollie Lockley completed the UK's second largest marathon in two hours and twenty seconds - just a minute outside his best time set in 2021. 

The route works its way through Chorlton, Hulme, Sale, Salford and Manchester City Centre before finishing at the Old Trafford cricket ground. 

Thirteen other athletes from the Island completed the race - recording times under three hours - with many others setting personal bests for themselves.
