Meet some of our runners

Many of our runners enjoyed the experience so much that they had to write and tell us. You can read some of their experiences here...

Claire Friars

"Compared to the last marathon I did, the weather was a little on the warm side and I was a lot slower than I'd hoped but it was a fantastic day and the GOSH staff were fab. The cheering posts were great and loud and supportive.  The staff at Greenwich were particularly enthusiastic and were apparently lovely to my husband, mum and baby Scarlet.

At the end having the thought that we would like someone to greet us and carry our bag and help us up the steps to the reception was great and the sign posting was brill for my family to find it."

Bryan Stocker

"The organisation and communication from the initial bond acceptance through to the race reception has been immaculate. A special word on the reception, the venue, the massage, the welcome, the selection of food and drink made the already very special day just perfect. And thanks to the cheering squad too, I couldn't wait to reach them, and their enthusiasm was a real tonic" 

Peter Coulter

"A huge thanks for treating us like royalty after the marathon - it made the day being able to sit down and have a cup of tea and a sandwich just 300 yards from the finish, not to mention a massage. It was a great experience." 

Duncan Gibbons

"Thanks for all your support over the last few months and thanks in particular for being so nice at the reception today. It was lovely to get a cup of tea and to be so pampered and looked after. And it was so kind of you to soak my T-shirt (can't believe I made such a mess of it) and to offer to let me jump the massage queue. I thought everything was superbly organised." 

David Keel

"I want to thank everybody at GOSH for the excellent hospitality at the ICA. The round of applause as we walked up the stairs was greatly appreciated along with the refreshments. I even think that the massage, whilst painful at times, really helped to speed up my recovery."
