The Worksop Harriers were well represented in the Flora London marathon & despite the unseasonably warm weather they produced some outstanding performances.
Gavin Welsh ran a fantastic 2hours 44minutes & 59seconds to finish 229th overall (65th in his over 35’s age category).
While Tracey West finished in 3:10:24, 123rd overall (19th in her age category) had the advantage of starting with the elite ladies 45minutes before the mass race & so missed the worst of the heat.

Nigel Russell (3:10:04, 1446th),
Mike New, in this first marathon (3:19:22, 2194th),
