Our marathon marvels
While most of us were taking on the Terry 5k, half a dozen brave Wallsend souls were in the big smoke taking on one of the most gruelling but thrilling running challenges of their lives – The London Marathon.
There were first timers, seasoned pros, and even a televised engagement! Massive congratulations to Marie and John (who said ‘yes’ at mile 24). What a great moment and a first in Green and Gold history!
So take a moment to salute the superhuman six:
- Marie Collinson (4hrs 56)
- John Dodds (5hrs 10)
- Joe Colligan (3hrs 21)
- Alastair Willis ((3hrs 17)
- Julie Williams (3hrs 48 PB!)
- Gez Davidson (3hrs 15)
You are all inspirational.
