Includes one man hoping to be the first wheelchair racer from the Island to complete it
A strong field of competitors from the Isle of Man are preparing to take part in today's London Marathon.
One of them this year also has the chance to make Manx history at the event.
Michael Ryan - who previously served in the military with the Royal Engineers - is hoping to become the first wheelchair competitor from the Island to finish the full race.
He's been telling Manx Radio why the London Marathon is a challenge he personally wanted to take on:
Southern 100 planning to run classic sidecars for 2026
BMA to ballot doctors in the IOM for industrial action
Manx air quality 'significantly' better than UK average
Visitors told "take extra care" as TT Fan Park to reopen
Sidecars have 'been my life' says Lambert
