Ian came in at 4hrs 16 mins 7 seconds despite having to lie down at 17.5 miles with cramp in both knees. Said Ian after the race: “I’m walking like an old man, who’s waiting for knee replacements today, other than that I’m okay. It took me a while to find my time on the results page of the marathon website and I was beginning to think I had put my chip on upside down as I didn’t appear in the over 40's section. I then searched all men and I turned up in “Males 18”! I would definitely recommend running the marathon to anyone both as a one-off life experience and as a wonderful opportunity to raise money for good causes The money I’ve raised will be well used to continue to grow and support the Social Firm sector.”
