This weekend Lesley Manlow took part in the London Marathon and completed the run in 7:46:34. She was supporting the Phab Kids charity and raised an amazing £1,800!!
In the other direction, there were a lot of the BVR crew who headed over the border into Wales to take part in the Cardiff Half Marathon. This is always a very busy event and had over 12,000 finishers.
