london marathon

Of the 92,000 people that applied to take part in this most prestigious event, 45,000 people were accepted. For one reason or another, only 35,044 actually started the race but a huge 34,420 actually crossed the finish line before 6:30pm on April 13^th 2008 .

One of those proud finishers was Russell Kay, running in support of The Eye Fund. Russell successfully completed the 26.2 miles in 5 hours and 32 minutes and actually managed to run all the way.

Many, many thanks to Russell Kay for entering the Flora London Marathon on our behalf, even paying his own entrance fee to maximise charity income! If you’re in the area on the day, please give Russell some support and help The Eye Fund in the process.
