I ran the London Marathon in 2006. Back then, 119,000 people applied to run the 26th London Marathon and 47,200 were given a place. In simple terms, for every five applicants, two got in. Looking back, that seems unbelievable.

9 days to go!

Never one to turn down an opportunity to run one of the most iconic marathons in the world, I was so excited to be drawn out that hat in December.

We are pleased to announce our donation of £250 to the Cleobury Mortimer Food Bank, a gesture made possible by the success of the club's annual 10K race held earlier this summer.
