On Sunday 4 October, while the elite athletes completed the 26.2 miles of the 40th Virgin Money London Marathon in St James’s Park, 45,000 runners from 109 countries ran a ‘virtual Marathon’, often alone and without the support of fellow competitors and spectators.
GSTTKPA is very grateful to two amazing virtual Marathon participants, who ran for us in these very difficult circumstances.
Ben Moorhouse who has raised a total of £2,840
Tim Arlington who has raised £1,210.
Next year’s London Marathon is scheduled to take place along the usual course on 3 October, and both Ben and Tim hope to take part. Our thanks to Julie Griffin and Beth Brown who have also deferred their entries for this year’s event.
