Each year we offer members the opportunity to run in the London marathon.

The place is provided to the club by England Athletics because of the number of members who affiliate to the national body.

The name is chosen by drawing of lots in December and the club pays the entry fee.

It’s a great prize and you can see previous club participants below.

We have a ceremonial handover of the club “baton” at the annual awards night in February.

Peter Panacek: 2022

Sean Lindsay in 2020, after doing the "virtual" London marathon and in 2021 after the real thing 

Debs Clarke: 2019 

James Hobson: 2018

Fraser Murray: 2017
