Thousands run in city's marathon
Thousands of runners have been pounding the roads in Leicester's first city marathon for 20 years.

The event has moved into the city centre after six years in the countryside, with the start and finish points in Victoria park.

About 2,500 people have been running in the full and half marathons.

Hendrich Zietsman from South Africa won the full marathon and James Douglas from Charnwood, Leicestershire, won the 13.1-mile half marathon.
