Thanks for checking out my page and I am made up having completed my 24th in a row.

What an amazing day when everything all came together nicely and one of the best for years. I kind of cruised the 26.2 miles at a relevantly consistent pace and came over the line at an unexpected fabulous time of 4:34:23 my best since the 2019 event. Not bad for a 60 year old!

The conditions were perfect and as always with over 50,000 other runners joining in it was a truly great atmosphere along with the spectators.

It is always enjoyable seeing the wonderful London sights that helped me get round the 26.2-mile (42k) course.

I was equally delighted from all the donations kindly received over the years to achieve now over £135,000 raised over the 24 years in aid of the Kent Association for the Blind of which I am an ambassador.

I was equally pleased to not only getting over the finishing line but pushing non-stop running and raising vital funds for the charity. Sincere thanks go to all who have contributed whether individuals or companies.

Going back my best time was 3 hours, 23 minutes in 2002 and I have already entered the 2025 marathon (25 in 2025) which will again be in April next year and already looking forward to it.
