Presentations were by our VIP guest presenter Chris Finill. In 2011 Chris ran across America, from San Francisco to New York. Last summer, aged 64, Chris ran from John O’ Groats to Land’s End, becoming one of just a handful of athletes ever to complete this USA/UK double. Chris also holds the World Record for the longest sub-3-hour marathon streak in the same marathon, having gone under 3 hours 33 times at the London Marathon every year since it began from 1981, until 2013. He has run every London Marathon since its inception, right up until 2023, making a total of 43 races… so far! He spoke on the importance of running to him, and encouraged the pupils to keep on going however they did in the race on the day.
Programme 2024 – packed full of information about this years’ teams and runners as well as 52 years of history.
