What a great day of running for all the participants in this years London Marathon. The runners were greeted with ideal conditions, cold enough for Mo Farah to don a pair of arm warmers, the runners fashion disaster, (let the Tri-athletes wear them Mo!). 11 Dursley Runners made it to the line in this celebration of humanity’s ability to rise to a challenge and in many cases raise money for a good cause at the same time;  Moira Woodward, Avril Yearsley, Mel Williams, Rebecca Topham, Laura Price, Kim Bird, Sue Peachey and 4 men  -  Graeme Hawkins, Neil Parry, Paul Wellings and Kevin Jackson. Some came to the race in sparkling form, others struggling through injury to get the requisite miles in.

Whilst some hardy souls had travelled the shorther distance to the Hogweeds Hilly, the half marathon speedsters ventured farther south to Bath. The flat two lap course assisting runners in posting quicker times.
