SUPPORTING OUR STARS
Keely Hodgkinson won silver in Tokyo
Ever wondered where your entry for the London Marathon goes? As you finalise your long runs and start your taper for London Marathon 2021, feel proud that your fee helped many of our elite athletes make it to this year’s summer Olympic Games.

Keely Hodgkinson (silver, 800m) is based at the Leeds Beckett University talent hub and supported by LME. Other athletes on the Team GB Olympic team to benefit from LME funding were Lizzie Bird
