London Marathon

The 13th April 2003 saw our first men’s team in a marathon as Chris Smith, Peter Vickers and Peter Helliwell all ran at London, posting 3:19, 3:58 and 5:03 respectively. They ran in support of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.  In addition Joanne Belcher ran her first marathon, finishing in an impressive time of 3.57 and setting a new female club record. She was raising money for the Family Holiday Association. Congratulations to our second claim member, Ian Fisher, who was 36th in a time of 2.28.
