LonDONE Class of 2024 Run Report
by Ruth Hancock, recipient of our club place for the 2024 TCS London Marathon
It’s taken a while to process what happened on 21st April, I’m not going to lie. What an absolutely fabulous experience! From the moment my name was announced at Awards Night, to crossing that illustrious finish line, London Marathon surpassed every expectation. And I cannot be more grateful for the opportunity – I am extremely lucky.
As an event, the TCS London Marathon is exceptionally well organised – the most difficult thing was having to visit the Excel in advance of the race itself to collect my bib number and t-shirt. But that passed without a hitch and I managed to meet up with Jo to do a little shopping and continue the carb-loading process over lunch. The HARC cheer squad (Gemma, Katy and Sara) were treated to cocktails at Searcy’s champagne bar before they went off to meet Shalev and deliver his HARC hoodie.
