With an electric atmosphere at the start line in Headingley and an incredible show of support along the route, this year’s marathon was packed with colourful costumes and impressive athletic displays.
There were cheering crowds and high-fives as the intrepid bunch reached the finish line - with many running for good causes. The day also saw a huge number of runners run in the half marathon, which took in much of the same route.
Our photographer Steve Riding was there to capture all of the action. Here are 32 of his best photos from the day -
