The event first launched in 1982 with 3,021 taking part in a marathon-only event and over the years it has evolved to attract relay runners as well as those who want to walk the route, participate in a half-marathon and of course, raise funds for chosen charities as well.
See if you can spot anyone you recognise in this special picture gallery from the start of today’s event.
