Running a marathon is not for everyone, but have you even taken on the challenge?

People from across the whole of the region have taken part in marathons or half marathons in East Anglia.

Runners ran around in Ipswich in 1983 as traffic was made to wait.

Some runners spend months training, and some use their local park runs to train, which are set to return later this year.

Many people are having to complete virtual marathons at the moment, with large scale sporting events not able to take place due to coronavirus restrictions.

Children were also seen enjoying themselves at the Cockfield Rounders Marathon in 1991.
