A dad and son finished the Liverpool half marathon almost three weeks after the rest of the runners crossed the finish line.
Brian Sweeney and his son Ben ran the course of the Liverpool 'Skyline' half marathon on Good Friday (April 15) - 19 days after the event actually took place. The two missed the race, which starts and ends on Liverpool's iconic waterfront after snaking around the city's scenic parkland, for slightly different reasons.
Ben was with his partner waiting for the birth of their baby girl, while Brian was ruled out of the event with covid. Not wanting to miss out entirely, Brian contacted race organiser Alan Rothwell, who said he would escort the two around the course today.
