Each year, the city's Lord Mayor picks a charity to benefit from fundraising during their time in office.

Mr Wright, a Liberal Democrat city councillor for Eaton, selected the Nourishing Norfolk Network from the Norfolk Community Foundation to benefit.

The charity brings together groups of all sizes who work at a grassroots level to ensure communities have access to affordable, healthy food.

Mr Wright said: "I am delighted to be running the marathon in support of our civic charity, the Nourishing Norfolk Network.

"Together with their partners in Norwich, such as The Feed and Soul Foundation, they do such amazing work in combating food insecurity and providing support, advice and information and it has been a huge pleasure to support them this year."
