More than a few runners were drenched – and not just from sweat.
Heavy rains did not deter our local sporting heroes, who battled on with beaming smiles.
The relay kicked off on Commonwealth Day - March 13 - before reaching the Caribbean, Africa, the Americas, Europe, Asia and Oceania.
Prince Charles will open the baton and read the Queen’s message during the opening ceremony of the games.
It was Day 71 of the worldwide relay but it was a special day for the North West.
