Welcome to our 2022 London marathon page! The London Marathon is one of the top six international marathons and one of the highlights of the SpecialEffect events calendar.

Story



I am raising money for the amazing SpecialEffect charity, who do incredible life changing work for so many people. 

I am hoping that we can raise a lot of money, and have already done a work raffle, sold some surplus Office furniture and have a SpecialEffect tuck shop at Oxford Products.

That said, I am running the London Marathon for me!  As in it is part of my mid-life crisis and probably a one-off opportunity I couldn't turn down.  

Lots of people are asking me about what time I would hope to complete the run in.  Normally I'd be very competitive with anything in life, but for this I am being realistic and hope that I can complete it under 5 hours.

I got the nod from SpecialEffect in March to say they had a place for me, and have basically been training since, with a Covid-19 break in June putting me back a bit.
