Details for Race Day

Dear all,

With one week to go, I've now sent the last dreaded begging email. This week I'll continue to blog, letting you know how I'm getting on with the build up to the big race next Sunday. A few of you have been asking about coming along to support so I just thought I'd include some info here. From what I've been told, knowing you have supporters there makes a world of difference do let me know if you're planning to be there and roughly where you'll be.

I will be setting off at 9.45am from Blackheath and am hoping to run 10 minute miles which should give you a rough indication of where I'll be and when but congestion at the beginning and potential for a heatwave (!) could shift these timings somewhat. I've attached the London Marathon spectator guide below which includes quite a good map.

Mum, Dad, Jacko and Becky will be covering the 4 Help the Hospices cheer points:

  • Greenwich at 6.5 miles (approx 10.50am)
  • Tower Bridge at 12.5 miles (approx 11.50am)
  • Canary Wharf at 19 miles (approx 1pm)
  • Embankment at 25 miles (approx 2pm)


Help the Hospices have a post race meet point at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre on Broad Sanctuary, just off Parliament Square, which friends and family can come to any time from midday. I reckon, all being well, I should be there by 3pm.

If it continues to stay mild I will be running in black and white shorts and a black and white t-shirt with a bright yellow Help the Hospices vest over the top. Keep your eyes peeled!

Dad's mobile: 07768 338 428
Jacko's mobile: 07941 727 661
My mobile: 07525 359 130

Once again thank you for your continued support and for any more last minute donations:
