The Ealing Half Marathon has been voted Best Half Marathon for the third year running.

The west London race was awarded gold at the 2016 Running Awards after receiving the most votes by runners at the independent awards ceremony, which celebrates running culture in the UK.

The awards ceremony took place at indigo at The O2 in East London on Friday April 22 and was attended by a room of A-list names within the running and sports industry.

Race director Kelvin Walker and race co-ordinator Sandra Courtney were presented with the award by BBC sports presenter Mike Bushell.

Race co-ordinator Sandra Courtney said: "It is beyond our dreams to win gold for the third year running! We never would have thought it possible when we set up the race five years ago, but it just goes to show what you can achieve with determination, fantastic community support and a positive vision.

"The race is getting bigger and better and we hope that more people will come to experience the #EalingFeeling.

"There are still places available for the Ealing Half Marathon in September and we are looking forward to filling the streets for the UK's best half marathon!"

The Ealing Half Marathon - which has raised over £850,000 since its inauguration in 2012 - starts and finishes in Lammas Park, and features a 13.1 mile route on closed roads around the leafy streets and parks of the Ealing borough.

The fifth anniversary Ealing Half Marathon will be taking place on Sunday September 25 2016. Alzheimer's Society, Cancer Research UK and CLIC Sargent are the official charity partners for the 2016 race.
