This year marks the fifth Ealing Half Marathon as thousands of people are set to take on the tough distance run.
The race, which has been voted as the best Half Marathon in the UK, starts and ends in Lammas Park after a single lap through the centre of Ealing, Montpelier, Pitshanger, West Ealing, Hanwell and St Stephen's.
Runners kicked of at around 9am and this year young athletes can take part in the Mini-Mile which was due to start at 9.15am.
Spectators are encouraged to watch their friends and family take part in the race at the following vantage points in Uxbridge Road, Drayton Bridge Road, Pitshanger Lane and Cuckoo Avenue, some of which benefit from seeing the runners pass twice.
Organisers hope to smash previous fundraising figures for the race's three headline charities: Alzheimer's Society, Cancer Research UK and CLIC Sargent. In the last two years the race has raised over £900,000 for various charities.
