I had great memories - 2008 London Marathon runner

I was started ok through 10km but was running with my co team sponsor (Mind) buddy, Claire who I met while on the run. She encouraged me as I struggled with early cramp, but I didn't want her to stop because of me. I ran off the cramp, At about the 30 km mark I noticed Claire further up had fallen and assisted by her mom, wanting to quit the race. I stopped and talked to her trying to use her her own child birth as a measure of real pain. I rallied her sprit, got her to her feet and we walked the race home with a super slow time. But as i lie here trying to overcome cancer in Canada, in my mid 50's, I remember with pride, my achievement not only as a Londoner lucky enough participating in one of great events of the year but also my compassion of helping my fellow athlete over my own ambitions, I decision I would gladly repeat.

Magnificent atmosphere, great support!!

Great marathon, probably the best I've ever run!! It's all about the crowd supporting you at every singe step. You can not get bored, you can not give up. Bands, kids, fans, fancy race outfits and a fast course. Top it up with an excellent organization and what else can you ask for! Just run it!

Fabulous Course!

This was such a fun race to do. The course and crowd support were over the top! Plenty of water stops and toilets on the route. All high marks with the exception of the following: 1. No food after the race, not even a banana! 2. Medal was black and was not very visible. 3. The finisher shirt was disappointing, didn't even put London Marathon on it. Otherwise, an excellent event and highly recommended!
