London Landmarks HM

[dory950]

Well what a day ! Over 23,000 runners and the most amazing atmosphere. If you ever get a chance to do it you must.

I ran for Team Tommys getting a charity place, to date I have raised £625.

Wanted to have a fun time and take lots of pics, my family were on the course but I had no idea where they were. I cried when I saw them 😍

I was still getting over covid so wasn’t expecting a lot but those crowds are something else ! PB it 2.19.44 and over the moon .

A great course but not quite as flat as they make out 😂 but that said so iconic running over Tower Bridge and all the wonderful landmarks of Westminster . The volunteers and crowds make this such a wonderful event and all the charities are so deserving. Legs hurt but so worth it !

Well done dory950. The charities have suffered over recent years without race sponsorship income and I am sure it will be put to great use.

[dory950 Metric Marathon Half Marathon]

yes they have , hopefully we all raised a good sum for them all 😊

Ooh, yes that climb to Tower bridge is a bit of a drain isn't it? Congratulations both on a great PB, and on the fundraising for such a worthwhile cause. I love the photo, what a memory to treasure!

[dory950 Metric Marathon Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

that bit seemed to go on forever 😂 but the crowds were so loud and supportive

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to dory950]

It's cruel isn't it 😍 I think LLHM is by far and away the most well supported event I have ever done - it was very noisy 😍

[dory950 Metric Marathon Half Marathon in reply to linda9389]

[Kirst13 Half Marathon]
