Good morning, and thanks so much for joining us as we follow all the action from the Melbourne Marathon today.
For an estimated 42,000 Melburnians, this will be anything but a lazy Sunday morning.
Here’s a quick guide to the day ahead:
6.30am: Nike Melbourne Marathon begins
7am: Sri Lankan Airlines 10km run begins
7.25am: Nike Wheelchair Marathon begins
7.30am: Nike Half Marathon begins
11.15am: Dairy Farmers 5km run begins
11.45am: Chobani fit walk begins
The starting line for the main event is on Batman Avenue just north of Rod Laver Arena. A mere 42 kilometres later, the runners will find themselves back close to where they started, with the finish line on the hallowed turf of the MCG.
