Eleven LRC members took part in this year’s London Marathon; there are some excellent achievements to report.

First male competitor to cross the finish line was Dan Floyd, in the fantastic time of 2:36:26. Always aiming high, Dan has set his sights on a sub 2:30 for the distance, so continues to work towards this goal!

Richard Bravington, in his first run as an LRCer for a little while, finished in 2:47:48, despite having to dig deep at mile 18. Brilliant work, Richard!

Next home were Stephen Rivers (2:55:49), Tom Hodgson (3:03:34) and (veteran of many marathons!) Phil Sutcliffe (3:29:02). Hermione Green was our first female finisher, in 3:33:22, in her first time at this event, followed by Tom Widdowson in 3:39:38.

Ruth Kennedy-Green, Radhika McCathie and Hazel Moore, having trained together, supported each other throughout the race, crossing the line in the same time. (4:43:13).

And Claire Wheat, competing in her third London marathon, this time with daughter, Jessie, and running in aid of MS-UK, finished in 5:29:34. As she achieved the ‘good for age’ qualifying time once again, we’re sure she’ll be back next year!

Huge well done to all our runners! Great to see so many smiling faces!
