Best London Marathon performance came from Scott Rice. Scott is an experience campaigner now in the V45 category and all that experience showed in Sunday’s hot conditions when he ran a beautifully judged race to finish in 2h 58m. The club’s three other finishers were Toby Draper whose 3h 5m effort was a good one in those conditions. Tim Martin, who finished in 4h 14m, a time very much affected by the weather. Joe Gregory finished in 4:37.
Also in London, on Sunday, were Finnlay Lowe and Hayley Instance who were representing east of England in the mini marathons.
