Elizabeth Ayres followed up her London Marathon experience with an all-inclusive, friendly, well-organised race with a G&T at the finish!
The Family Marathon is a new event that has been launched to raise money for Hope and Homes for Children. Teams of up to six people take on the marathon distance running one-mile loops. The miles can be split between you any way you like: you can all run together at the same time, and all of your miles still count so long as combined they total 26.2 miles. The event was held in East London’s Victoria Park, and is a lovely flat course. Thankfully, its pathways are well shaded too, because the temperature decided to soar to a fairly toasty 33 degrees which is not ideal for most sane runners.
Our team, Thighs of Fire, met before the 10am start, and gave ourselves good time to visit portaloos and the bag drop, but we needn’t have as there were absolutely no queues! Despite the event village bustling with runners and families, these areas were spot on. From athletic gazelles to toddlers running around burning up all their energy before we even hit the start line, everyone of every age, size and ability was getting ready to run – even a few furry four legged family members were joining in the fun. And there were also a number of groups like ours made up of friends, colleagues and club members.
