The 30th London Marathon on April 25th 2010, saw six Cotswold
Allrunners complete the 26.2 mile race passing major sigthseeing
venues, such as Tower Bridge, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace before
crossing the finish line to feel proud and exhausted, whilst receiving
a finishers medal.
Each of the Cotswold Allrunners has their own reasons for wanting to
take part in this event, and now they all have a story of how they
achieved this. Four of them raising funds for the Multiple Sclerosis
Resource Centre of which local ex-England Rugby player and MS sufferer
Alastair Hignell is the Patron. The others helping support Great Ormond Street and Well Child.
The race conditions were pretty ideal with temperatures much lower than expected and only a few thundery showers lingering, and the
runners dealt with this to record the following times. Chris Brookman
completed the course in 3:27:30hrs, Kate McEvoy, practice nurse from
Rowcroft Stroud in her 1st Marathon crossed the finishing line in
4:12:30hrs. Then followed by Gino Beamont in 4:20:35 and close behind the latest Cotswold Allrunners member Nicola Billis in 4:21:55hrs.
Next were Primary School Teachers Angie Ayling and Lisa Austin-Harrison, in 4:38hrs respectively.
